Chords for The Island Paul Brady

_ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _
This week's song is actually a contender for my top three favorite songs of all time
Written by an [Bb] Irish guy called Paul Brady.
He wrote
for Brooks and Dunn, Bonnie Raitt
Tina Turner.
It's crazy.
He's had a great career an amazing [F] songwriter.
This is called the island

_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ They say those skies of [C] Lebanon are burning
[F] _ [G] Those [F] mighty
[G] Cedars bleeding in the heat
They're [F] showing
pictures [C] on the [G] television
this woman [Fm] and
children [C] dying in the [F] street
_ [Bb] So here we sacrifice our children
to [F] feed those
[C] worn out dreams of [Fm] yesterday
[F] _
[Bb] Teach their diamond lead us into glory
_ _ [F]
Hey, [C] don't listen to me
[F] This wasn't [Bb] meant to be [F] no sad song
_ _ [Fm] Heard too much of that before _ _
Right now I only [C] wanna be with you
[Fm] Till the morning dew
[Gm] comes for [F] it _ _
[Fm] I wanna take [C] you to the _ island
Trace your [F] footprints inside
_ _ _ Sail the evening [C] when there's no one around
_ Make love
They [Gm] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ say _ _
[C] Plain folks don't hear [F] all the stories
[G] And I [F] guess this
[Gm] Peace and love just cop it [G] out
And I've [F] heard them
[C] young boys dying in the [F] ditches
That's just what
Being free is all about
This _ [Bb] twisted [C] wreckage down on [Bb] Main Street
[F] Bring us [C] all together in [F] the end
As [Bb] we'll go marching down the road of freedom Freedom _
[C] _ _ _ [Bb] Freedom
_ [F] _
[C] Hey, don't listen to [F] me
This wasn't meant to be no sad song _

[C] Till the morning dew
[Bb] comes for [F] it _ _
