Back to the Island Leon Russell
Back to the Island by Leon Russell
Capo up 1 fret
[A7]Now the [D]day is gone and I sit[Bm] alone and think of you[Bm7] girl
What can I [Em7]do without [G]you in my l[D]ife?
[Bm]I guess that our [Bm+]guessing game jus[Bm7]t had to end that [E]way
The [G]hardest one to [A7]lose of [G]all the [A7]games we [D]played
[A7]But the [D]time has passed for [Bm]living in a dream [Bm7]world
And [G]lying to m[Em7]yself, can't make that s[D]cene
[Bm]Of wondering if you [Bm+]love me, or just [Bm7]making a fool of[E] me
[G]Well I hope you un[A7]derstand, I just [G]had to go [A7]back to the is[D]land,
And watch the sun [G]go down, hear the sea roll [D]in
But I'll be t[A7]hinking of you and how it might have b[D]een
Hear the nightbird [G]cry and watch the sunset d[D]own
[G]Well I hope you [A7]understand I jus[G]t had to go [A7]back to the [D]island.
F[Bm]or all the sunny [D]skies it's [G]raining in my [D]heart
[Bm]I know down in my [G]soul I'm really gonna [D]miss you
But it[Bm] had to end this [D]way with [G]all the games we [D]played
[G]Well I hope you under[A7]stand I just h[G]ad to go [A7]back to the is[D]land
And watch the sun go [G]down, hear the sea roll[D] in
But I'll be t[A7]hinking of you and how it might have [D]been
Hear the nightbird [G]cry and watch the sunset [D]down
[G]Well I hope you und[A7]erstand I just [G]had to go b[A7]ack to the [D]island.
