Back to the Island Leon Russell
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning:Standard
Now the d[F]ay is gone and I s[Dm7]it alone and think of you girl
What can I [Am7]do without y[Bb]ou in my li[F]fe.
[Dm]I guess that[C#+] our guessing game ju[F]st had to end that[G7] way
[Bb] [Dm7] [Gm7] [C7]
The har[Bb]dest[C] one to lose of all the games we played
But the t[F]ime has passed for l[Dm7]iving in a dream world
And l[Am7]ying to myself, c[Bb]an't make that sc[F]ene
Of w[Dm]ond'ring if you l[C#+]ove me, or j[F]ust making a fool of[G7] me
[Bb] [Dm7] [Gm7] [C7]
Well I[F] hope you understand, I just had to go back to the island,
[F]And watch the sun go do[Bb]wn, hear the sea roll i[F]n
But I'll be thinking of y[C7]ou and how it might have be[F]en
Hear the nightbird c[Bb]ry and watch the sunset do[F]wn
Well I hop[C7]e you understand I just had to go back to the isl[F]and.
[Dm]For all the sun[F]ny skies[Bb] it's rainin' in my[F] heart
[Dm]I know down in my so[Bb]ul I'm really gonna miss y[F]ou
But it h[Dm]ad to end this w[F]ay [Bb]with all the games we [F]played
[Bb] [F] [Bb] [C7]
Well [F]I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
[F]And watch the sun go do[Bb]wn, hear the sea roll i[F]n
But I'll be thinking of y[C7]ou and how it might have be[F]en
H[F]ear the nightbird c[Bb]ry and watch the sunset do[F]wn
Well I hop[C7]e you understand I just had to go back to the isl[F]and
[F]And watch the sun go d[Bb]own, hear the sea roll i[F]n.
[Dm7] [C#+]
