[Ab]
[Eb]
Still [Ab] trying to cry tomorrow from a [Eb] tombstone.
But hey, don't listen to me.
This wasn't meant to [Ab] be no sad song.
We've heard too much of [Eb] that before.
[Ab]
[Eb] Right now I [F] only want to be [Fm] with you
Till [C] the morning dew [Eb] comes falling.
I want to take [Ab] you to the [Eb] island
Trace your [Eb] footprints in the [Ab] sand
[Eb] And in the evening [F] when there's no one [Fm]
[C] around
We'll make love to the [Eb] sound of the [F] ocean.
[Bb] [Eb] [F]
[Ebm] [Bb] [Eb] You're raising [Ab] banners [Eb]
over by the markets
[Ab] [Eb] Whitewash [Ab] slogans on [Eb] the shipyard [Ab] walls
[Eb] Witch doctors [Ab] praying for a [Eb] mighty showdown
No way our holy flag is gonna fall
Our weary [Ab]
sacrifice our [Eb] children
To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday
And teach them dying will lead [Ab] us into [Eb] glory
But hey, don't listen to me.
This wasn't meant to be no [Bb] sad [Eb] song.
We've heard too much of that before.
[Ab] [Eb]
Right now I only [Fm] want to be with you
[C] Till the morning [Ab] dew comes [Eb] falling.
I [Fm] want to [Eb] take you [Ab] to the [Eb] island
Trace [Bb] your [Eb] footprints in the sand
And in the evening when [F] there's [Fm] no one around
[C] We'll make love to the [Eb] sound of the ocean.

[Bbm] We'll make love to the [Eb] sound of the [F] ocean.
[Ebm] [F] [Eb] [F]
Now I know [Eb] us plain folks [Bb] don't see [Eb] all the story
[Bb] I [Ab] know [Eb] this [Bb] peace and love's [Eb] just copping out
[Bb] [Eb] I guess those [Ab] young boys dying [Eb] in the ditches
[Bb] Is [Eb] just what being [Bb] free is all [Eb] about
That twisted [Ab] wreckage down on [Eb] Main Street
Will bring us all together in the end
[Ab] And we'll go marching down the road to [Bb] freedom
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] [Ab] Freedom
[Eb] Freedom
[Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] [Ebm] Freedom
