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]

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

the feeling rarely ever fades
and how I wish the you could stay
