tiny island chords
leo kottke

F *

F C F C F
i wish i had a tiny island floating in the sea
C F C F
palm trees sway , don’t get in the way , it’s a tropical ease
C F C F
and everywhere that i keep my silence , no sound returns to me
C F C F
just endless waves at the end of our days , the sighing of the seas

F C F C F
but yesterday’s gone , i don’t know where i come from , hmmm
C
wonder where i’m going

F C F C F
the very last time that you saw me off i thought that it was understood
C F C F C F
that i’d be gone for a very long time , i might be gone for good
F C F C F
and all that time , all the time , i thought you would never fall
C F C F
it did not dawn across my mind the time that you lost it all

F C F C F
but yesterday’s gone , i don’t know where i come from , hmmm
C
don t know where i’m going

F C break

F C F C F
sometimes i feel like a tiny island floating in the sea
C F C F
palm trees sway , don’t get in the way , it’s a tropical ease
C F C F
and everywhere that i keep my silence , no sound returns to me
C F C F
just endless waves at the end of our days , the sighing of the seas

F C F C F
but yesterday’s gone , i don’t know where i come from , hmmm
C
wonder where i’m going
