C                  F
This is my island in the sun
G                        C
Where my people have toiled since time begun
C            Dm
May sail on many a sea
C                    G      C
Her shores will always be home to me

Chorus:

C           F
Oh, island in the sun
G                    C
Willed to me by my fathers hand
C                   F
All my days i will sing and praise
G                     C
Of your forests, waters, your shining sands

C                       F
As morning brakes the heaven on high
G                C
I lift my heavy load to the sky
C                       Dm
Sun comes down with a burning glow
C                           G     C
Mingles my sweat with the earth below

Chorus.

C                F
I see woman on bended knees
G                       C
Cutting kane for her family
C                  Dm
I See man by the waterside
C                     G      C
Casting nets at the surging tide

Chorus

C                     F
I hope the day will never come
G                      C
That i can't awake to the sound of a drum
C                    Dm
Never let my miss carnival
C               G     C
With calypso songs Philosophical

Chorus
