Chords for This Is My Island (Wayne S Morgan)

_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
I _ _ _ _ _ _ am a proud _ fisherman _ _ _ _ who fished [A] on the _ [E] Grand _ _ [A]
Banks and the old [E] salt _ _ water. _ _
_ It's in [B] my _ _ [E] _ soul, [B] _
_ but I've had [E] to _ leave _ it _ since they closed [A] down the _ _ _ _ fishery.
_ Now [Gb] I'm far _
[E] away _ from [B] _
the old fishing [E] _
_ _ _ _ shoals.
_ I went out to _ _ Alberta _ _ _ to work for [A] _
_ _ McMurray, _ _
_ but each day [E] I _ _ dreamt _ of my _ [B] Newfoundland home.
[E] _ _ [B] _ _
_ Oh, those dear [E] outboard _ _ nepos, _ _ _ they live in [A] my _ _ memory, _ _
and I've lost _ [E] _
_ everything but [B] _
_ the love of [E] my home.
[A] _ _ [E] Oh, _ _ cause this is my _ _ [B] island, _ _ _ the place I [A] was _ born [Bm] _ _
in, and though I'm [E] far away, _ _ _ _ _
_ it's in [B] my soul.
[Dbm] _ Oh, _
_ [B] my [Abm] feet [E] have _ _ _ _ wandered _ too [Gb] far off [A] _
_ Alberta, _ _ _ _ but [E] my heart's back _ home still
[B] _
_ in old _ [E] _
_ [A] Newfoundland.

_ In dreams I go _ back _ there _ to the hills [A] in the _ _ harbor, _ _
and I think of [E] the _ life _ that _ I spent in [B] the bay. _ _ _ _
_ But the times [E] have _ changed _ now, _ and my heart [A] still _ _ _ _ _
ponders those days in [E] my _ _ memory _ [B] _
_ as if [E] yesterday.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ Someday I'm [F] going _ back _ _ there to the place my [Bb]
heart yearns _ for, on that _ [F] beautiful _ _ _ island _
_ _ surrounded [C] by _ [G] sea.
_ _ [C] _
_ And never [F] _
_ again then _ _ will [C] I [Bb] ever _ leave it, _
that old _ [F] Newfoundland _ home _ [C] _
that's been so dear [F] to me.
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [C] Oh, this is [F] my _ _ island, _ _ _ the place I [Bb] was _ born _ _ in, and though I'm [F] far away, _ _ _ _ _
_ it's in [C] my soul.
[Gm] _ _ _ _
[D] _ My [C] feet [F] have _ _ _ _ wandered _ too far off [Bb] _
_ Alberta, _ _ _ _ but my heart's [F] back _ home still [C] _
_ in old _ [F] _
Newfoundland.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
_ Yes, my heart's [F] back _ home _ [C] still _ in old _ [F]
Newfoundland.
