May I remind you, that I'm still seaching tabs for "At the Harbour" and

"Carpet of the Sun" by Renaissance? I can hardly believe that among so many

talented musicians, nobody is willing to help a poor soul like me.

{title:Island in the Sun}

{st:Harry Belafonte}

C F

This is my island in the sun

G7 C

Where my people have toiled since time begun.

C Dm

I may sail on many a sea

C G7 C

Her shores will always be home to me.

{start_of_chorus}

C F

Oh, island in the sun,

G7 C

Willed to me by my father's hand

C F

All my days I will sing and praise

G7 C

Of your forests, waters, your shining sands.

{end_of_chorus}

C F

As morning breaks the heaven on high

G7 C

I lift my heavy load to the sky.

C Dm

Sun comes down with a burning glow

C G7 C

Mingles my sweat with the earth be low.

{c:Chorus}

C [f]

I see woman on bended knees

G7 C

Cutting cane for her family.

C Dm

I see man at the water side

C G7 C

Casting nets at the surging tide.

{c:Chorus}

C F

I hope the day will never come

G7 C

That I can't awake to the sound of a drum,

C Dm

Never let me miss carnival

C G7 C

With caly pso songs philo sophi cal.

{c:Chorus}
