GEmCD
You always were a city kid though you were country raised
GEmCD
And back in some forgotten time we shared the cold north days.
GEmCD
But the simple life was not your style and you just had to escape
GCBmAmDGGsus4GGsus2
So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands.
GEm
On Remembrance Day the bands all played;
CD
The bells pealed throught the park.
GEmCD
And you lay there by the 'Do Not' signs and shamed them with your spark.
GEmCD
Now winter moans in old men's bones as the day falls into dark
GCBmAmDGGsus4GGsus2
And it's goodbye to my lady of the islands.
BmEmAmD
It was just like this behind the kisses you so soon swept away
BmEmAmD
Oh, I always knew that someday you'd be bound to just get pulled away.
GEmCD
The summer sun beats on and on; the shops swim in the heat.
GEmCD
And you're standing by the traffic signs with taxis at your feet.
GEmCD
Well, I know that in your city skin you're feeling more complete,
GCBmAmDGsus4GGsus2
So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands.
