ISLAND IN THE SUN
Harry Belafonte

Griffe:

Refrain:
A             D             E                           A
Oh Island in the Sun willed to me by my father's hand.
                           D
All my days I will sing in praine,
            E                           A
Of you forest, waters your shining sand.

1.  Strophe:
A                       D                            E                                   A
This is my Island in the sun where my people have toiled since time begun,
                            D
Tho' I may sail on many a sea,
       E                              A
Her shores will always be home to me.
Refrain:

2.  Strophe:
When morning breaks on heaven high, I lifted my heavy load to the sky,
Sun comes down with a burning glow,
Mingles my sweat with the earth below.
Refrain:
