Island Of Memories Chords by Isla Grant

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ An old house is standing _ so [B] empty and [Em] bare
_ _ With [B]
many _ _ sweet memories _ _
[A] _ surrounding _ [B] it _ there
_ No _ _ paints in the windows, the [A]
door has [E] no [B] _ _ lock
_ _ Oh, if [E] only [B] that old _ house could [Em] _
talk
Where _ _ _ _ _ _ are the children _ [B] that ran by the [E] shore? _ _
_ _ _ [B] Their sweet _ sound of laughter, _ we [A] hear it no [B] more _ _
The _ _ school yard is empty _ [A] where kids used to [B] play
_ _ _ How the [E] _ years pass [B] so quickly _ _ [E] away _ _ _
The _ _ _ old school still stands at [B] the top of the [E] hill
_ _ It's _ _ [B] bare, old and rusty _ _ [A] and silent [B] and still _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Schoolroom by day, a [A] dance hall [B] by _ _ night
_ How [E] we danced _ till the [B] dawn's _ [E] early light
_ _ I _ _ _ gaze at the old house _ [B] and whisper _ _ [E] goodbye
_ _ _ As _ [B] I stand _ there alone, _ [A] there's a tear in [B] my eye
_ _ I _ _ _ feel a strange coldness, it [A]
chills to the [B] bone _ _ _
As _ I [E] turn and slowly [B] walk _ from my [E] old [B] island [E] home
_ _ I _ _ _ _ pray that one day I'll [B] return _ once [E] again
_ _ To _
_ _ [B] my island _ of memories, _ _ [A] of kinfolk [B] and friends
_ _ _ Where the sound _ of the fiddle _ [A] floats by on [B] the breeze
_ _ _ And a [E] sweet _ [B] mother's voice _ echoes way out [E] to sea
_ _ An _ _ _ old _ house is standing _ so [B] [Abm] empty _ [B] and [E]
bare
_ _ With _ _ [B]
many _ sweet _ memories _
[A] _ surrounding it [B] _ _
there
_ No _ _ paints in the windows, _ the [A]
door has no _ [B] _ lock
_ Oh, _ [E] if only _ that [B] [Abm] old [B] house could [E] _
_ talk
_ _ _ It [B] would tell _ of the good times [A] it's _ seen through [B] the _ _ years
It _ would tell of the hardships, _ [A] the struggles _ and [B] _ tears
_ _ _ Of [E] the _ comforting [B] fire _ and [E] the chime _ of the [A] _ clock _
_ _ _ Oh, _ _ [E]
if only _ [B] that old _ house [E] could talk _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
