[C] And the moon brings us [Dm] back, I'm going [Am] back over [F] to [C] the islands.
[Dm] [Am] [F]
[C] In between your [Dm] smiles, there's a [Am] clue whether to scream [C] or be [G] silent.
And [Am]
[C] the wind blows sad [Dm] and joyful [Am] on our arrival [F]
[G] on [C] Smearly Island.
[G] [Am] [F] And with [C] your sense of [Dm] dislocation, [Am] you make the [F] perfect traveling [C] companion.

[C] And the world will [F] always seem [C] so much younger [G] than me when I [Am] take the boat [F] out.

[Dm] [Am] [F] And [C] there are times to [Dm] act, and times to [Am] stand back, and times [F] to show what's needed [C] to rely [Dm] on.

[F] How come you always seem so [G] real and fine?
You [Am] put your hand [C] in my hand, [F] make it my design.
We give what we [C] have, [G] and we do what we can.
[C] Put your hand in my hand.
[G] [F]
How come you always [C] seem [G] so real and fine?
[Am] You put your hand [C] in my hand, [Dm] make it my design.
We give what we have, [G] and we do what we can.
[C] Put your hand in my hand.
