This is my very first tab. I didn't see this up anywhere and I figured it out a while
so I figured I would go ahead and put it up :)
I play F#m like 200222, but if you don't like that, you can just
play Dmaj7 = xx0222 in it's place
Intro: just play A for 4 measures
Verse 1:
I will live my life as a lobsterman's wife
on an island in the blue bay.
He will take care of me,
he will smell like the sea,
And close to my heart he'll always stay.
I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls,
little Ella and Nelly and Faye.
While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare
On our island in the blue bay.
Chorus:
Far away far away, I want to go far away.
To a new life on a new shore line.
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another island, in another life.
Verse 2:
There's a boy next to me and he never will be
anything but a boy at the bar.
And I think he's the tops,
he's where everything stops.
How I love to love him from afar.
When he walks right pass me then I finally see
on this bar stool I can't stay.
So I'm taking my frown to a far distant town
On an island in the blue bay.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
I want to go far away.
Away away, I want to go far away, away, away
I want to go far away, far away.
Interlude:E, F#m, A, E, F#m (chords from 1st half of chorus)
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another life, to another life.
To another shore line
(End on )
In another life.
