Seven islands to the high side of the bay,
Across the bay to [B] the sunset,
Through the blue light of a fiery autumn _ haze.
_ We went walking on the high side of the bay,
On a chilly morn, and we saw how leaves fall
On the beds where trees are born.
[D] _ _
Any [B] man in his right mind could [D] not fail to be [B] made aware,
_ _ [D]
Any woman that [B] get the wisdom would [D] not seek her [B] ancestors there. _ _
_ _ _ _ Seven islands to the high side of the bay,
If you're looking west to the sunset,
You can see it all in fiery autumn dress.

Dee [F#] dee dee [F#m] dee, dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee.
Seven high cities, guess you'd think it's a pretty good place,
You can't even learn to win, you could burn, you got nothing to say.
You seem to think because you got chicken to go you'll be hot.
_ _ [D] Fortune [E] will outshine [A] you in your mansion [Bm] or your truck.

_ _ _ Dee [F#m] dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee.
Look around at the morning, guess you're building 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.
Think of the night and all the guns that go round in your face.

It's time you try [B] living on the high [D] side of the bay, [B] you need a rest.
