[G] [C] [Bm] [Am]
[G] You always were [Em] a city kid, [C] though you were country [D] raised
[G] And back in some [Em] forgotten time [C] we shared the cold north [D] days
But [G] the simple life [Em] was not your style [C] and you just had to [D] escape
So [G] it's goodbye [C] to my [Bm] lady [Am]
of [D] the [G] islands
On remembrance day [Em] the bands all played, the [C] bells pealed through [D] the park
[G] And you laid there by [Em] the do not signs [C] and shamed them with [D] your spark
[G] Now winter [Em] moans in old man's bones [C] as the day falls [D] into dark
[G] And it's [C] goodbye to [G] my lady [Am] of [D] the
[G] islands
It [Bm] was just like this, [Em] behind the kisses [Am] you so soon swept [D] away
Hey, hey, [Bm] oh I always knew [Em] that someday [Am] you'd fit bound to just [D] get pulled away
The [G] summer sun [Em] beats on and on, [C] the shops swim in [D] the heat
[G] And you're standing by [Em] the traffic signs [C] with taxes at [D] your feet
[G] Well I know that [Em] in your city skin [C] you're feeling more [D] complete
[G] So it's goodbye [C]
to [Bm] my [Am] lady of [D] the
[G] islands
