Verse 1
D 
There are few cities
Em 
A 
D 
where I   feel as alone as here
When the music stopped
Em 
D 
and the war began
Em 
Home to whichever hotel
D 
is having me now
G 
D 
Solitary island zone
G 
D 
Solitary island zone
And I had to flee from the
Em 
D 
height of the show
For when the crash came,
Em 
D 
I needed to be alone
Believe me,
Em 
D 
you do not need your vision sky
G 
D 
Solitary islands, oh
G 
D 
Solitary islands, oh
Em 
A 
I'll hang my harp on a willow tree
D 
And I'll be off to the wards again
Em 
Oh, can slip so quick
G 
D 
A life can change in a feather
Em 
D 
Em 
D 
A 
drop
D 
Em 
I don't know if this bed can be
D 
filled just by me
Slowing my breathing
Em 
D 
and   missing my children
Em 
D 
And if by chance you should see me cry
G 
D 
I've only stuck a fat thumb in my eye
G 
D 
I've only stuck a fat thumb in my eye
G 
D 
Solitary islands, oh
G 
D 
Solitary islands, oh
Em 
A 
I'll hang my  harp on a willow tree
D 
And I'll be off to the waltz again
A 
We can slip so quick
G 
D 
Life can change in a feather drop
Em 
D 
Em 
D 
A 
D 
G 
D 
Solitary islands, oh
Solitary islands, oh
