Verse 1
B
There's
a man who lives on an island
E
His eyes are as blue as the sky
B
His skin is as brown as
the berry that falls
E
When autumn leaves blow by
B
His wavy hair is streaked with silver
E
Like surf curls un der moonlight
B
His smile's so sweet
it could turn up the heat
On the chilliest,
E
B

He runs an inn by the water
E

When mainland tourists stay
F#

He bakes fresh bread every
morning at five
E
And says, it's a wonderful day
B
He walks the beach at sunrise
E
B
Starts mak ing beds at ten
Counts his blessings every night

Then he closed that door
His friends back home were startled
and sadly shook their heads
Chalk it up to a midlife crisis
E
They know ingly said

But as days turned into weeks and months
and he did not return
They took a harder look
E
at their own lives and lessons

And he is well aware
B

The road that he is traveling
D#m
is one that more of us would choose

If we wer en't so afraid of what at night

There will be times the doubts will roll in
E
The blue will turn to grey
B
Old habits are so hard to break,
E

if inertia gets its way.
Listen to your own heart
E

and then follow where it leads.
Time to pull up old roots,
E
B
E
B
scatter new seeds.
