D C#m6 C Bm7 G Em7sus4 F#m6
the song is basically a descending open chord
pattern that changes tempo during choruses and
interludes it's really simple, just stay in the rhythm
and I might add, a great song by a, sadly, little known songwriter
D you can leave the C#m6 island
C but you can't leave my Bm7 love
G you can't take bac F#m6 k what you gave a Em7sus4 way
D you can leave the C#m6 island
C but you can't leave my Bm7 heart
G you know the memor F#m6 y remains Em7sus4
of the D moonlit nights
and the C#m6 stars were high
you can see C Savannah shine across the w Bm7 aves
d D ance along the shore
C#m6 take our time for more
C and all along you know our hearts will Bm7 sing
D you can leave the C#m6 island
C but you can't leave my Bm7 love
G you can't take bac F#m6 k what you gave a Em7sus4 way
D you can leave the C#m6 island
C but you can't leave my Bm7 heart
G you know the memor F#m6 y remains Em7sus4
D and I loved y C#m6 ou
C from the moment we firs Bm7 t met
D thinkin of yo C#m6 u
C and I never will forget Bm7
and the f D eeling
had me r C#m6 eeling
I can't C believe it
it's so Bm7 easy
G to be fr F#m6 ee Em7sus4
of the m D oonlit nights
and the C#m6 stars were high
you c C an see Savannah shine across the Bm7 waves
I know y D ou must move on
and I C#m6 will carry on
as long as t C he memory r Bm7 emains
D you can leave the C#m6 island
C but you can't leave my Bm7 love
G you can't take bac F#m6 k what you gave a Em7sus4 way
D you can leave the C#m6 island
C but you can't leave my Bm7 heart
G you know the memor F#m6 y remains Em7sus4
