The Merrymen of Barbados - The islands are on my mind - Live chords
Start Jamming...
[C] I left my home in the West Indies [F] Traveled north to the big cities
[G] Where everyone said that the streets were paved [C] with gold
I worked so hard both night and day [F] Just to survive and pay my way
[G] But I don't think this is where I want to [C] go for
[F] Oh, [Gm] [C] [F] cause the islands are on my mind [Bb] The [Dm] islands are on [Gm] my mind
[Bb] The [C] [F]
[C] [F] islands are on my mind [Bb] The [B] islands are on [G] my mind

[C]
But I miss my friends and I miss the sun, [F] the little music, the sea and the rum.
[G] These homesick blues are treating me so [C] unkind.
And when the cold blows with the sleet and the [Em] snow [F] and my bones,
keep telling me, you've got to go, [Em] go back [G] home where the weather is always [C] fine.
[Gm] [C] The [F] islands are on my mind,
[Bb] the islands [Am] are on [Gm] my mind.
[Bb] [C] Ooh, on my [F] [C]
mind.
[F] The islands are on my mind, [Bb] the [F] islands are [Gm] on my mind.
[Bb] Ooh, [C] [Am] on [Dm] my [G] mind. Ooh.
[C] [Em] [F]
