[Intro:   C – C/G – C]

C G I wanna go back to the island C D G Where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin' Em A7 ...Give me oysters and beer for dinner everyday of the year D D7 And I'll feel fine, I'll feel fine

C D G And I----- wanna be there C D Em I wanna go back down and lie beside the sea there C G B7 Em With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine A7 D G – C/G – G C – C/G - G And I'll be chewin' on a honey-suckle vine

Yeah now, the sun goes slidin' across the water Sailboats they go searchin' for the breeze Salt air it ain't thin, it can stick right to your skin Make you feel fine, makes you feel fine

I------- wanna be there I wanna go back down and a-get high by the sea there With a tin cup for the chalice, fill it up with good red wine And I'll be chewin' on a honey-suckle vine

Yes and now, you heard my strange proposal So get that pack geared up and let's move I wanna be there before the day tries to steal away And leave us behind, I've made up my mind

And I--------- wanna be there I wanna go back down and die beside the sea there With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine And I'll be chewin' on a honey-suckle vine

Yeah, with a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine And I'll be chewin' on a honey-suckle vine
