[Intro]  D(8)
[Verse 1]
     D(8)                                 G(4)                 D(4)
Six years I’ve been in the city and every night I dream of the sea
         D(8)                                      A(2)       G(2)  D(4)         
They say home is where you find it, will this place ever satisfy me?
[Verse 2]
       D(8)                                      G(4)       D(4)
For I come from the salt water people, We always live by the sea 
         D(8)                                   A(2)     G(2)  D(4)         
Now I'm down here living in the city, With my man and a family
[Chorus]
           Bm(2)         A(2)  D(4)          A(2)           G(2)  D(4)
My island home, my island home. My island home, is waiting for me 
           Bm(2)         A(2)  D(4)          A(2)           G(2)  D(4)
My island home, my island home. My island home, is waiting for me 
[Verse 3]
        Bm(2)          A(2)  D(4)
In the evening dry wind blows
         D(4)                 G(4) 
From the hills and across the plains
    Bm(2)            A(2)  D(4)
I close my eyes and I'm standing
     D(4)             G(4)
In a boat on the sea again
         Bm(2)               A(2)  D(4)
And I'm holding that long turtle spear
       D(4)                               G(4)
And I feel I'm close now, to where it must be
          Bm(2)           A(2)  D(4)
My island home is waiting for me
[Bridge] – D(8)
[Verse 2]
[Chorus x2]
