  My Island Home-sung by Bill McCormack
There iGs a plaDce so fGar away tEMhat mCeans so much to Gme
     D          G         DG/Em             A  D  
Its just a little Island nestled by the sea
Where frieGndly foDlks are waiGting tAo weClcome you ashoGre
                       CG/Em                       G  D  
There is a little cottage,with the roses round the door
Its whGere I spDent my chilGdhood, while a bCoy round mothers kGnee
We use to plDay aboGut the fEmarm, how haAppy and gay were wDe
Em/GBut now those daDys are ovGer, and the cotCtage stands alGone
HoDw I’d loCve to see that islGand, aEmnd the plGace I still call home
Each night in drDeams I waGnder, back to Cmy island hoGme
And the memories hDow they haGunt me, of Emthat coAttage all alDone
SomGeday I’d liDke to wanGder back, though it Cbe with a tear filled eGye
Just to sCee the folks, I loGve so welEml on deGar old PD/GEI
Just to sCee the folks, I loGve so welEml on deGar old PEI

Its where I spent my childhood, while a boy round mothers knee
