memory
My island [G] on beckon from over [D] the sea
The east wind [G] is calling her daughters [C] and sons

I'll see all my kinfolk that I knew [C] as a child
I'll roam [G] along the seashore I explored [D] as a boy
[A] Yes, a pretty [G] girl waits there and I'll reach [C] for her hand
And I'll be [G] back home, [D] Lord, rest this [G] rambling man
Oh, this is my island, so dear, [C] Lord, to me
Enchanting [G] in her beauty and her sounds [D] of the sea
[A] Though where I [G] may wander, though where I [C] may roam
I'll go back to [G] my island, [D] to [A] my [G] island home
