the song is basically a descending open chord
pattern that changes tempo during choruses and
interludes it's really simple, just stay in the rhythm
and I might add, a great song by a, sadly, little known songwriter

D C#m6
you can leave the island
C Bm7
but you can't leave my love
G F#m6 Em7sus4
you can't take back what you gave away
D C#m6
you can leave the island
C Bm7
but you can't leave my heart
G F#m6 Em7sus4
you know the memory remains
D
of the moonlit nights
C#m6
and the stars were high
C Bm7
you can see Savannah shine across the waves
D
dance along the shore
C#m6
take our time for more
C Bm7
and all along you know our hearts will sing
D C#m6
you can leave the island
C Bm7
but you can't leave my love
G F#m6 Em7sus4
you can't take back what you gave away
D C#m6
you can leave the island
C Bm7
but you can't leave my heart
G F#m6 Em7sus4
you know the memory remains
D C#m6
and I loved you
C Bm7
from the moment we first met
D C#m6
thinkin of you
C Bm7
and I never will forget
D
and the feeling
C#m6
had me reeling
C
I can't believe it
Bm7
it's so easy
G F#m6 Em7sus4
to be free
D
of the moonlit nights
C#m6
and the stars were high
C Bm7
you can see Savannah shine across the waves
D
I know you must move on
C#m6
and I will carry on
C Bm7
as long as the memory remains
D C#m6
you can leave the island
C Bm7
but you can't leave my love
G F#m6 Em7sus4
you can't take back what you gave away
D C#m6
you can leave the island
C Bm7
but you can't leave my heart
G F#m6 Em7sus4
you know the memory remains

jam on the chords
the rest of the lyrics are ad libbed

the feeling rarely ever fades

and how I wish the you could stay
