Intro: G C G G C G

Verse:
G            C            G
I want to go back, to the islands
          C             D             G
Where the shrimp boats  tie up to the piling
 Em
Give me oysters and beer
    A7
For dinner every day of the year
              D                   D7
And I'll feel fine......I'll feel fine

Chorus:
C        D          G
Cause  I    want to be there
        C                 D             Em
Want to go back down and lie beside the sea there
       C                              G       D        Em
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
          A7           D           G    C G
And I'm a chewin' on a honeysuckle vine

Verse:
G            C                           G
Yeah now the sun goes sliding across the water
C                  D                 G
Sail boats they go searching for the breeze
Em
Salt air it ain't thin
A7                                                 D
It can stick right to your skin, and make you feel fine
               D7
Makes you feel fine

Chorus:
C        D          G
Cause  I    want to be there
        C                D                   Em
Want to go back down and get high beside the sea there
       C                              G       D        Em
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
          A7           D           G    C G
And I'm a chewin' on a honeysuckle vine

Verse:
G       C                        G
Yes and now you heard my strange proposal
   C                D            G
So get that Packard up and let's move
        Em
I wanna be there before the day
A7                               D
Tries to steal away and leave us behind
                D7
I've made up my mind

Chorus:
C        D          G
Cause  I    want to be there
        C                 D             Em
Want to go back down and die beside the sea there
       C                              G       D        Em
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
          A7           D           G    C G
And I'm a chewin' on a honeysuckle vine

Outro:
          A7           D           G    C G
