[Intro 1]
[D]This is my island in the [G]sun
Where my [A]people have toiled
since time be[D]gun
I will sail on [Em]many a sea
Her [D]shores will always be home to me

[Chorus 1]
[D]Oh, isl[G]and in the sun
[A]Willed to me by my [D]father's hand
All my days I [G]will sing in praise
Of [A]your forest, waters,
your [D]shining [A]sand[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]As morning bre[G]aks the heaven on high
[A]I lift my heavy loa[D]d to the sky
Sun comes down with [Em]a burning glow
[D]Mingles my sweat with [A]the earth be[D]low

[Chorus 2]
[D]Oh, island in [G]the sun
[A]Willed to me by my [D]father's hand
All my days I will [G]sing in praise
Of your [A]forest, waters,
your [D]shining sand
[D][D]

[D]I see woman on ben[G]ded knee
[A]Cutting cane for her[D] family
I see man [Em]at the waterside
[D]Casting nets at [A]the surging [D]tide

[Chorus 3]
[D]Oh, island in [G]the sun
[A]Willed to me by my [D]father's hand
All my days I will [G]sing in praise

[D][D]

[Verse 3]
[Eb]I hope the day will [Ab]never come
[Bb]That I can't awake to th[Eb]e sound of drum
Never let me miss [Ab]carnival
[Eb]With calypso songs phi[Bb]losophi[Eb]cal

[Chorus 4]
[Eb]Oh, island in th[Ab]e sun
[Bb]Willed to me by my [Eb]father's hand
All my days I will [Ab]sing in praise
Of your [Bb]forest, waters,
your [Eb]shining sand

[Outro 1]

[Bb]Ooh[Eb]
[Eb]Ooh[Ab]
[Bb]Ooh[Eb]
