Traditional menu : Dark Island - Lyrics by Stewart Ross (1929-1993)


(C) (Dm) (Am) (Fmaj7) (C)

(C) In the yea(Dm)rs long gone (Am) by when I fir(Fmaj7)st left my ho(C)me
I was you(Am)ng and I wan(C)ted the wide world to ro(G)am
But (Dm) now I am ol(Am)der and wi(Fmaj7)ser you s(C)ee
That lo(G)vely dark island is ca(Fmaj7)lling to (C) me

(C) Though I've wandered a(Fmaj7)way from the land of my bi(C)rth
And been roa(Am)ming around to the en(C)ds of the ear(G)th
Still my hea(Dm)rt is at ho(Am)me in that (Fmaj7) land far a(C)way
That lo(G)vely dark island where me(Fmaj7)mories st(C)ray
(G) (Fmaj7) (C)

(C) One day I'(Dm)ll return to the (Am) far dis(Fmaj7)tant sho(C)res
From that de(Am)ar island I'll wan(C)der no mo(G)re
Till the (Dm) day that I (Am) die I will (Fmaj7) no longer ro(C)am
That lo(G)vely dark island will (Fmaj7) be my last ho(C)me

(C) Though I've wandered a(Fmaj7)way from the land of my bi(C)rth
And been roa(Am)ming around to the en(C)ds of the ear(G)th
Still my hea(Dm)rt is at ho(Am)me in that (Fmaj7) land far a(C)way
That lo(G)vely dark island where me(Fmaj7)mories st(C)ray
That lo(G)vely dark island where me(Fmaj7)mories st(C)ray
