Island In The Sun

C                 F
This is my island in the sun
         G7                       C
Where my people have toiled since time begun.
C             Dmi
I may sail on many a sea
    C                     G7      C
Her shores will always be home to me.

   C          F
R: Oh, island in the sun,
   G7                 C
   Willed to me by my father's hand
   C                  F
   All my days I will sing and praise
           G7                    C
   Of your forests, waters, your shining sands.

C                     F
As morning breaks the heaven on high
  G7            C
I lift my heavy load to the sky.
C                     Dmi
Sun comes down with a burning glow
C                         G7       C
Mingles my sweat with the earth be low.

R:

C              F
I see woman on bended knees
G7                   C
Cutting cane for her family.
C                Dmi
I see man at the water side
C                   G7      C
Casting nets at the surging tide.

R:

C                   F
I hope the day will never come
     G7                   C
That I can't awake to the sound of a drum,
C                 Dmi
Never let me miss carnival
          C              G7   C
With caly pso songs philosophical.


R:
