Verse 1
(D major) (A minor) (D major) (A minor) (D major) (F major) (E major) Smell
(A minor)
so (D major) sweet from here, (A minor) (D major)
can (A minor) almost (D major) touch it, (F major) it's so near
(E major) Island (A minor) of (D major) my dreams (A minor)
Not (D major) just a (A minor) destination,
(D major) but (F major) it's a need (E major)
Songbirds and flowers
Seductive (C major) ocean (D major) breeze
(E major) More palm fringe lanes and sunsets
Than (C major) anyone could (D major) believe
(E major) I've heard so much about it
Don't (C major) know if I'll (D major) ever get (E major) there
Not sure I could do without it
It (C major) comes with me (D major)
(E major) Everywhere (A major)
Island of my (E major) dreams (G major)
Won't turn away from (D major) me (E major) (A major)
But how will it all (E major) seem
If I (G major) make it there even (D major) tu ally (E major)
(A minor) (D major) (A minor) (D major) (A minor) (D major) (F major)
(E major)
(A minor) Floating around (D major) inside (A minor) me
like a (D major) sweet vanil (A minor) la sundae (D major)
It's (F major) everything I (E major) need
My (A minor) tropic (D major) al shirt's (A minor) so fried
(D major) It (A minor) hurts
(A major) Says (A minor) I'm a (D major) kind of refugee (F major)
(E major) From the (A major) island of my (E major) dreams (G major)
Won't turn away from (D major) me, no, no (E major)
(A major) But how will it all (E major) seem
If (G major) I make it there even (D major) tually?
(E major) (A minor) There are other things (D major) compet
(A minor) ing for my (D major) attention
Like (A minor) cars and (D major) homes
and in (A minor) surance schemes
(D major) But (A minor) I'm sneaking
with (D major) the safeguard
(A minor) of my own in (D major) vention
Island (F major) of my (E major) dreams
Keeps the greatness at bay
Middle (C major) -early terraces melt (D major) away
(E major) In the sunshine,
on (C major) my way to the (D major) underground
Hot (E major) early morning breath
Smell of (C major) newsprint in the (D major) railway carriage
(E major) Rich, minty, with a hint of smoke
Old, (C major) just flattish, a (D major) sinner (E major) 's joke (A major)
Island of my (E major) dreams (G major)
Won't turn away from (D major) me (E major) (A major)
But how will it all (E major) seem
How will you see (G major)
if I make it there even (D major) tually?
(E major) (A minor) I know there's (D major) a better
life out (A minor) there (D major) (D minor)
(A minor) Away from (D major) those food airports
and (F major) people with their (E major) lives on hold
(A minor) Oh, it's (D major) a better life from (A minor) here (D major)
With (A minor) pension plans, ca (D major) reer plans
Sympath (F major) etic deep blue remedies
