[F#m] [B]
[F#m] Seven [B]
[F#m] islands [B] to the high [F#m] side [B] of the bay,
[F#m] [B] Across the bay [F#m] to [B] the sunset,
[F#m] Through [B] the blue [F#m] light [B] of a [F#m] fiery [B] autumn haze.
[F#m] We [B] went walking [F#m] on [B] the high [F#m] side [B] of the bay,
[F#m] On a chilly [B]
morn, [F#m] and we saw [F#m] how [B] leaves would fall
On the [F#m] beds where trees [B] are born.
[C#m]
[D] Any [B] man in his right mind could [D] not fail [E] to debate [B] her where,
[D] Any woman to get [B] the wisdom would [D] not seek [E] her
[B] answer's there.
[F#m]
Seven [B] [F#m] islands to [B] the high [A] side of the bay,
[F#m] To the north [B] and west [F#m]
to [B] the sunset,
[F#m]
You [B] can see [F#m] it [B] all in the [F#m] fiery autumn [B] dress.
[D] Any time would [B] be the right time [D] to come up [E] to your bed [B] of flowers.
[D] Anybody with a wish [B] to wander could [D] not fail [E] but to [B] theorize.
[F#m]
[B] [F#m]
[B] [F#m]
Dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee,
In the high city, you should think it's a pretty good way,
You can be here when you get burned, you got nothing to say.
You seem to think because you got chicken to go you're in luck,
[D] Or a chum [E] will not find you [A] in your mansion [Bm] or your truck,
[D]
As [E] well as you [A] when you're down to [B] shed a lot.
[F#m]
[B] [F#m]
[C#] [F#m]
[C#] Dee [F#m] dee dee dee, [C#] dee dee dee [F#m] dee, dee dee dee dee,
Look around at the morning, guess you're doing the best you can,
Surely you know that when you're gone nobody gives you a hand.
Think of the air you're breathing in, think of the time you waste,
[B] Think of the [F#m] night you're on the sunset, of the frowns on your face.
Dee [D] dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee,
It's time you try to [B] live out on the high side [D] of the bay,
You [E] [B] need a rest,
[D] any woman or [B] man will I wish to [D] fade away,
[E] You could be [B] so blessed,
[D] or a chum will [E] not find you [A] in your mansion.
[Bm] Try to go,
[D] as well [E] as hurt you [A] when you're down to shed [G] a lot.
[A] [D]
[A] You're
[D] gonna see it, you [A] really know,
[E] It [D] is rising [A] like a feather, [D] dipping down and soon [A] coming low.
[D] There's a new wave [A] that is breaking, [G] in [D] the wake of a [A] passing ship.
[E]
Every [D]
[G] nation's gonna [A] be shaven, [D] put it together, [G]
[A] don't let it slip.
[G] [D] It's time you [C#m] try to live out [B] on the high side of [D] the bay, [E] you need [B] a rest,
[D] Any man or woman [B] will I wish to fade [D] away, [E] you could be [B] so blessed.
