------------------------------------------------
VERSE 1
********
You [G]always were a [Em]city kid
[C]Though you were country [D]raised
And [G]back in some [Em]forgotten time
We [C]shared the cold north [D]days
------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
But the [G]simple life was [Em]not your style
And you [C]just had to [D]escape
So it's [G]goodbye [C]to my [Bm]lady [Am]of the [D]island[G]s
------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2
********
[G]On Remembrance Day the [Em]bands all played
The [C]bells pealed through the [D]park
And you [G]lay there by the "[Em]Do Not" signs
And [C]shamed them with your [D]spark
------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
Now, [G]winter moans in [Em]old men's bones
As the [C]day falls into [D]dark
And it's [G]goodbye [C]to my [Bm]lady [Am]of the [D]island[G]s
------------------------------------------------
BRIDGE
*******
It was [Bm]just like this [Em]behind
The kisses you [Am]so soon swept [D]away
Oh I [Bm]always knew that [Em]some day
You'd be [Am]bound to just get [D]pulled [Am]away[Bm] [Am]
------------------------------------------------
VERSE 3
********
[G]The summer sun beats [Em]on and on
The [C]shops swim in the [D]heat
And you're [G]standin' by the [Em]traffic signs
With [C]taxes at your [D]feet
------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
Well, I [G]know that in your [Em]city skin
You're [C]feeling more [D]complete
So it's [G]goodbye [C]to my [Bm]lady [Am]of the [D]island[G]s
