ON AN ISLAND
(Gilmour/Gilmour - Samson)
[Intro] Em Em Em Em
[Verse]
Em Am
Remember that night...
Cmaj7 Bm B Em
White steps in the moonlight
Am
They walked it too...
Cmaj7 Bm B Em
Through empty playground, this ghost's town
Am Cmaj7 Bm B Em
Children again on rusting swings getting higher
Am
Sharing a dream
Cmaj7 Bm B
On an Island.... it felt right
Em Bm
We lay side by side,
Dm Am
Between the moon and the tide
Cm Gm A
Mapping the stars for a while
[Chorus]
G A Em
Let the night surround you
G A Em
We're half way to the stars,
G A
Ebb and flow
G A G A Em
Let it go, feel her warmth beside you
[SOLO 1]
[Verse]
Em Am
Remember that night,
Cmaj7 Bm B Em
The warmth and the laughter
Am
Candles burn...
Cmaj7 Bm B Em
Though the church was deserted
Am Cmaj7 Bm B Em
At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbour
Am Cmaj7 Bm B
Dreamers may leave, but theye're here everafter...
Em Bm Dm Am Cm Gm A
Da da da da da....
[Chorus]
G A Em
Let the night surround you
G A Em
We're half way to the stars,
G A
Ebb and flow
G A G A Em
Let it go, feel her warmth beside you
