The Island
Capo III
D Bm G D
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning,
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat.
They're showing pictures on the television
Women and children dying in the street.
G A
And we're still at it in our own place,
D G Bm
Still trying to reach the future through the past.
G A D Bm
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone...
Chorus:
G D G Bm G D
But hey, don't listen to me! This wasn't meant to be no sad song.
G A D
We've heard too much of that before.
G A D G
Right now I only want to be here with you
Bm A D
'til the morning dew comes falling.
G D
And I wanna take you to the island,
G A D
Trace your footprints in the sand.
G A D G
And in the evening when the sun goes down
Bm A D
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean.
D Bm G D
They're raising banners over by the markets,
Whitewashing slogans on our shipyard walls.
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown -
No way our holy flag is gonna fall.
G A
Up here we sacrifice our children
D G Bm
to feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday,
G A D Bm
And teach them dying will lead us into glory...
Chorus:
G D G Bm G D
But hey, don't listen to me! This wasn't meant to be no sad song.
G A D
I've sung too much of that before.
G A D G
Right now I only want to be here with you
Bm A D
'Til the morning dew comes falling.
G D
And I wanna take you to the island,
G A D
Trace your footprints in the sand.
G A D G
And in the evening when there's no one around,
Bm A D
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean.
D Bm G D
Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story,
And I know this peace and love's just copping out.
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
Is just what being free is all about.
G A
And how this twisted wreckage down on main street
D G Bm
Will bring us all together in the end
G A D G
And we'll go marching down the road to freedom
D Bm
Freedom
