Chords for Paul Kelly - My Island Home (Warumpi Band Cover)

_ _ Here's a song written by Neil Murray when he was in the Rumpy Band.
It was covered later by Christine Arnoux, who sang it memorably at the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
_ She changed the words a little bit, but I'm going to sing the original words for you today.
This is My Island Home. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Six years I've been in the desert
And [G] every night I dream [D] of the sea
They say home is where you find it
But [A] will this place [D] ever satisfy me? _
For I come from the saltwater people
We [G] always lived [D] by the sea
Now I'm out here west of Alice Springs
With [A] a wife [D] and a family _
My [Bm] island home, my [D] island home
My [A] island home [G] is [D] waiting for me _
[Bm] In the evening [A] the dry [D] wind blows _
From the hills and across the plain
[G] _
[Bm] I close [A] my eyes [D] and I'm standing _
In a boat on the sea again
[G] _
[Bm] And I'm holding [A] that long [D] turtle spear
And I feel I'm close now to where it must be
My [A] island home [G] is [D] waiting for me _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _

My [Bm] island home, my [D] island home
My [A] island home [G] is [D] waiting for me
In [Bm] the evening [A] the dry [D] wind blows
From the hills and [G] across the plain
I [Bm] close [A] my eyes [D] and I'm standing
In _ a boat on the [G] sea again
And [Bm] I'm holding [A] that long [D] turtle spear
And I feel I'm close now to where it [G] must be
My [A] island home [G] is waiting [D] for me
My [Bm] island home, my [D] island home
My [A] island home [G] is waiting [D] for me
My [Bm] island home, my [D] island home
My [A] island home, _ my [Em] island home
My [G] island home, my [D] island home
My [A] island home, my [B] island [Em] home
My [G] island home is waiting [D] for me _ _
