Verse 1
G
There's
a man who lives on an island
C
His eyes are as blue as the sky
G
His skin is as brown as
the berry that falls
C
When autumn leaves blow by
G
His wavy hair is streaked with silver
C
Like surf curls un der moonlight
it could turn up the heat
On the chilliest,
C
G
C
G
Am
G
foggiest night
He runs an inn by the water
C
G
When mainland tourists stay
D
G
He bakes fresh bread every
morning at five
C
And says, it's a wonderful day
G
He walks the beach at sunrise
C
G
Starts making beds at ten
Counts his blessings every night
C
G
C
G
Tomorrow he'll do it all again
C
This is a life he never
G
would have thought possible
Bm
G
If he had stayed where he was before
Am
D
C
Oh, but life is short
G
He refused to be miserable
Bm
So he packed his bags
He waved goodbye
Am
G
C
G
C
G
Then he closed that door
His friends back home were startled
and sadly shook their heads
Chalk it up to a midlife crisis
G
But as days turned into weeks and months
and he did not return
They took a harder look
C
at their own lives and lessons
G
C
G
Never
C
This is a life he never would have
Bm
Am
If he had stayed where he was before
D
C
Oh, but life's too short
G
He refused to be miserable
Bm
So he packed his bags,
he waved goodbye,
G
Am
D
then he closed that door.
G
C
Bm
of those who want to see him fall.
Am
But they are outnumbered
G
Bm
by those who want him to stand tall.
C
The road that he is traveling
Bm
is one that more of us would choose
Am
C
If we weren't so afraid of what at night
G
C
G
we just might lose
C
G
C
G
C
G
C
G
There will be times the doubts will roll in
C
The blue will turn to grey
G
Old habits are so hard to break,
C
G
if inertia gets its way.
Listen to your own heart
C
G
and then follow where it leads.
Time to pull up old roots,
C
G
C
G
scatter new seeds.
