intro   A 


A               D 
Island goodbye, island goodbye 
        A                     E          A 
We been too long together, my island and I 
A                     D 
'Cross the blue sea, 'cross the blue sea 
        A                     E          A 
We been too long together, my island and me 


Cobwebs and dust, cobwebs and dust 
I hate to leave you but leave you, I must 
Float through the sky, float through the sky 
We been too long together, my cobwebs and I 


Troubles goodbye, troubles goodbye 
We been too long together, my troubles and I 
'Cross the blue sea, 'cross the blue sea 
We been too long together, my troubles and me 


Cobwebs and dust, cobwebs and dust 
I hate to leave you but leave you, I must 
Float through the sky, float through the sky 
We been too long together, my cobwebs and I 


Unlock the gate, unlock the gate 
Lower the drawbridge, the hour is late 
Whom shall it be? Whom shall it be? 
We been too long together, my drawbridge and me 


Cobwebs and dust, cobwebs and dust 
I hate to leave you but leave you, I must 
Float through the sky, float through the sky 
We been too long together, my cobwebs and I 


Tear down the walls, tear down the walls 
Gather my treasure and scatter it all 
'Cross the blue sea, 'cross the blue sea 
We been too long together, my treasure and me 


Run to her side, run to her side 
Run to my island and make her yer bride 
Whom shall it be? Whom shall it be? 
We been too long together, my island and me
