Chris de Burgh - I Will

i will
words & music by chris de burgh

Em C G D Em
i’m going to an island where the sun will always shine ,
Am C Em
where the moon is always riding on the sea;
C G D Em
and when i go i’ll leave behind these chains that hold me down ,
Am C Em
the time has come to set my spirit free ,

D – C – Em , D – C – Em , D – C – B7 – Em
ah ah . . . . i will

and there beside a mountain stream , i � ll build a house of stone ,
and work the wood of cedar , pine and fir ,
and then i � ll make a garden and i � ll plant a field of corn ,
press my hands deep into mother earth ,
ah , ah . . . i will

Em C G B7
yes i will , oh i will , just to be a part of nature once again ,
C B7
i want to be a part of nature once again ,
Em
and i will . . .

and then i � ll teach my children love like every father should ,
for we are part of every living thing ,
and speak of half – forgotten words like peace and joy and good
for the world can only live when love can sing ,

ah , ah . . . . i will ,

oh yes i will , i will , and they will be a part of nature once again ,
oh they will feel a part of nature once again ( the time is now ) ,
just to be a part of nature once again ,

Em – C – G – Em Am C Em
and i will , ah ah , someday i will , ( someday i will ) . . . . .
