Intro: Dm G C
verse 1:
Em G C
An ocean of streets surround my island
Dm G C
And the waves of people wash against my door

And the tides of days and nights they go so slowly

And this bothers me for I know there's so much more
N.C. Dm G
Some have islands in the sky

And my dream is to be free

Sail away, boy, sail away

Sail away, boy, sail away

How often I have thought and tried to leave here

And board the good ship Chance and make my voyage

And sail all the way across the street

Some have islands in the sky

The most important thing to a man

To know you've stayed and tried and died to live

On a crowded beach of artificial sand
