^N.C.Some have ^Dmislands in the ^Gsky C ~ Am Some have islands in the sea But my ^Fisland's always ^Ghere And my ^Fdream is to be ^Dmfree Sail a^Gway, boy, sail a^Cway Sail a^Dmway, boy,^G7 sail a^Cway

How ^Emoften I have ^Gthought and tried to leave ^Chere Take my ^Dmgirl^G and beat my ^Cfeet And ^Fboard the good ship ^GChance and make my ^Cvoyage And ^Dmsail all the way across the ^Gstreet

^N.C.Some have ^Dmislands in the ^Gsky C ~ Am Some have islands in the sea But my ^Fisland's always ^Ghere And my ^Fdream is to be ^Dmfree Sail a^Gway, boy, sail a^Cway Sail a^Dmway, boy,^G7 sail a^Cway

Some^Emtimes I think and ^Gfind that conscience ^Cis The ^Dmmost important ^Gthing to a ^Cman To ^Fknow you've stayed and ^Gtried and died to ^Clive On a ^Dmcrowded beach of artificial ^Gsand

^N.C.Some have ^Dmislands in the ^Gsky C ~ Am Some have islands in the sea But my ^Fisland's always ^Ghere And my ^Fdream is to be ^Dmfree Sail a^Gway, boy, sail a^Cway Sail a^Dmway, boy,^G7 sail a^Cway Sail a^Dmway, boy,^G7 sail a^Cway Sail a^Dmway, boy,^G7 sail a^Cway
