Biography:
Al Stewart (born in Glasgow, Scotland on 5 September 1945) is a British songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single Year of the Cat and its 1978 follow-up Time Passages (both produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart's inspiration for his songs primarily comes from the past; indeed, he is credited with creating his own genre, "historical folk rock". At one time in his life, Stewart took guitar lessons from King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.

VERSE 1
********
G Em
You always were a city kid
C D
Though you were country raised
G Em
And back in some forgotten time
C D
We shared the cold north days
------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G Em
But the simple life was not your style
C D
And you just had to escape
G C Bm Am D G
So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands
------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2
********
G Em
On Remembrance Day the bands all played
C D
The bells pealed through the park
G Em
And you lay there by the "Do Not" signs
C D
And shamed them with your spark
------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G Em
Now, winter moans in old men's bones
C D
As the day falls into dark
G C Bm Am D G
And it's goodbye to my lady of the islands
------------------------------------------------
BRIDGE
*******
Bm Em
It was just like this behind
Am D
The kisses you so soon swept away
Bm Em
Oh I always knew that some day
Am D Am Bm Am
You'd be bound to just get pulled away
------------------------------------------------
VERSE 3
********
G Em
The summer sun beats on and on
C D
The shops swim in the heat
G Em
And you're standin' by the traffic signs
C D
With taxis at your feet
------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G Em
Well, I know that in your city skin
C D
You're feeling more complete
G C Bm Am D G
So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands
