Islands 
Words and Music by John Denver

from Seasons Of The Heart (1982)



G  D     C           D7
Islands call out to me
          G   D         C         G
Like the highlands that I always see
        C
In my dreams of home
                            G
I am never alone when I'm there

G  D          C        D7
Islands like so many dreams
          G  D       C               G
Are like canyons but off the main stream
             C
And there's no one there
                        G
The dreamer is always alone

         Am      
And the mighty blue ocean
       D         D7      G
Keeps rolling on every shore
           Am                    D7
Like the spirit that binds us together
                Am  D7         G   
We are so much mo---re  - than islands

G  D     C           D7
Islands belong to the sea
          G   D         C         G
Like the dark sands of my memory
        C
When the morning comes
                            G
They are stepping stones to the sun

         Am      
And the mighty blue ocean
       D         D7      G
Keeps rolling on every shore
           Am                    D7
Like the spirit that binds us together
                Am  D7         G   
We are so much mo---re  - than islands
