Back To The Island by Leon Russell
Back To The Island
Tuning:Standard
F Dm7
Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you girl
Am7 Bb F
What can I do without you in my life.
Dm C#+ F/C G7
I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way
Bb Dm7 Gm7 C7
Bb C
The hardest one to lose of all the games we played
F Dm7
But the time has passed for living in a dream world
Am7 Bb F
And lying to myself, can't make that scene
Dm C#+ F/C G7
Of wond'ring if you love me, or just making a fool of me
Bb Dm7 Gm7 C7
F
Well I hope you understand, I just had to go back to the island,
F Bb F
And watch the sun go down, hear the sea roll in
C7 F
But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been
Bb F
Hear the nightbird cry and watch the sunset down
C7 F
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island.
Dm F/C Bb F
For all the sunny skies it's rainin' in my heart
Dm Bb F
I know down in my soul I'm really gonna miss you
Dm F/C Bb F
But it had to end this way with all the games we played
Bb F/C Bb C7
F
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
F Bb F
And watch the sun go down, hear the sea roll in
C7 F
But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been
F Bb F
Hear the nightbird cry and watch the sunset down
C7 F
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
F Bb F
And watch the sun go down, hear the sea roll in.
Dm7 C#+
