            [Verse 1]

 D                G   
This is my island in the sun
A                                 D   
Where my people have toiled since time begun
Bm             G
I may sail on many a sea
      A                    D
Her shores will always be home to me


[Chorus]

 D         G
Oh, island in the sun
A                   D
Willed to me by my father's hand


[Verse 2]

Bm                  G
All my days I will sing in praise
          A                   D
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
 D                      G   
As morning breaks the heaven on high
   A                         D
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Bm                     G  
Sun comes down with a burning glow
A                          D
Mingles my sweat with the earth below


[Chorus]

 D            G
Oh, island in the sun
A                   D
Willed to me by my father's hand


[Verse 3]

Bm                  G
All my days I will sing in praise
         A                    D        
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
D               G
I see woman on bended knee
A D                    
Cutting cane for her family
Bm               G
I see man at the waterside
A                    D
Casting nets at the surging tide


[Chorus]

 D          G   
Oh, island in the sun
A                   D
Willed to me by my father's hand


[Verse 4]

Bm                  G
All my days I will sing in praise
         A                    D
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
Eb                   Ab
I pray the day will never come
       Bb                 Eb
When I can't awake to th  e sound of drum
Cm                 Ab
Never let me miss carnival
        Bb             Eb
With calypso songs philosophical


[Chorus]

Eb         Ab       
Oh, island in the sun
Bb               Eb
Willed to me by my fat
her's hand


[Outro]

Cm                  Ab             
All my days I will sing in praise
        Bb                   Eb     
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
        Bb                   Eb
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
