[F]
This is my island [A#] in the sun
[C]
Where my people have [F] toiled since time began
Though I may sail [A#] on many a sea
[C] Her shores will always [F] be calm
[C] [F]
Oh, island [A#] in the sun
[C]
[Gm] Will to me by my [F]
father's hand
All my [A#] days I will sing in praise
[C] Of your forest water, [F] your shire
When morning [A#]
breaks the heaven on high
[C] I lift my heavy [F] load to the sky
The sun comes down with [A#] a burning glow
[C] Mingles my sweat [F] with the earth below
Oh, island [A#] in the sun
[C] [Gm] Will to me [F] by my father's hand
All my days [A#] I will sing in praise
[C] Of your forest water, [F] your shire
I see woman [A#]
on bended knee
[C]
Cutting cane [F] for her family
I see man [A#] by the water's side
[C]
Casting nets [F]
at the surging tide
Oh, island [A#] in the sun
[C] Will [Gm] to me [F] by my father's hand
All my days [A#m] I will sing in [A#] praise
Of [C] your forest water, [F] your shire
I [F#] hope the day will never come
That I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss [B] the carnival
With [F#] calypso songs, philosophical
Oh, island [B] in the sun
[C#] Will to me by my [F#] father's hand
All my days [B] I will sing in praise
[C#] Of your forest water,
[F#] your shire
