[Intro]
G C G D
G Em D G
[Verse 1]
An island in the Gsunlight, laughter in the Emrain. 
A whisky in the Ddarkness, it all feels just the Csame.
Watch the sunset over GHynish see the twilight merge to Emdawn 
Hear the waves caress the Dshoreline as the island carries Con.
[Chorus]
I've been Gwalking, Cwalking these Gshores all my Ddays 
But with Emyou by my sCide I am Dwalking on the Gwaves
I've been Gwalking, Cwalking these Gshores all my Ddays 
But with Emyou by my sCide I am Dwalking on the Gwaves
[Break]
G C G D
G Em D G
[Verse 2]
There's two lovers on the Gmachair and they walk down to the Emsand
Their silhouettes are on the Dwater as they paddle hand in Chand.
And it's a game of sweet sGurrender when there's nothing left to Emsay 
And there are moments to reDmember once these days are long Caway.
[Chorus]
I've been Gwalking, Cwalking these Gshores all my Ddays 
But with Emyou by my sCide I am Dwalking on the Gwaves
I've been Gwalking, Cwalking these Gshores all my Ddays 
But with Emyou by my sCide I am Dwalking on the Gwaves
[Break]
G C G D
G Em D G
[Verse 3]
*slow*
So you look out on the Gocean see the headlands and the Emstrands
And you wonder what Dhorizons will shape tomorrow's Cplans
And through the turning of the Gseasons and the cycle of the Emdays
Every drink's another Dreason to let tomorrow sail Caway.
[Chorus]
I've been Gwalking, Cwalking these Gshores all my Ddays 
But with Emyou by my sCide I am Dwalking on the Gwaves
I've been Gwalking, Cwalking these Gshores all my Ddays 
But with Emyou by my sCide I am Dwalking on the Gwaves
[Break]
G C G D
G Em D G
[Bridge]
*slow*
The Csurging of the Gocean, the Cbreakers on the Gshore
The Amechoes of our bodies, To the Clovers’ dream we Dsoar.
[Chorus]
I've been Gwalking, Cwalking these Gshores all my Ddays 
But with Emyou by my sCide I am Dwalking on the Gwaves
I've been Gwalking, Cwalking these Gshores all my Ddays 
But with Emyou by my sCide I am Dwalking on the Gwaves
I've been Gwalking, Cwalking these Gshores all my Ddays 
But with Gyou by my Emside I am Dwalking on the Gwaves
