the song is basically a descending open chord
pattern that changes tempo during choruses and
interludes it's really simple, just stay in the rhythm
and I might add, a great song by a, sadly, little known songwriter
D C#m6
you can leave the island
C Bm7
but you can't leave my love
G F#m6 Em7sus4
you can't take back what you gave away
D C#m6
you can leave the island
C Bm7
but you can't leave my heart
G F#m6 Em7sus4
you know the memory remains
D
of the moonlit nights
C#m6
and the stars were high
C Bm7
you can see Savannah shine across the waves
D
dance along the shore

from the moment we first met
D C#m6
thinkin of you
C Bm7
and I never will forget

had me reeling
C
I can't believe it
Bm7
it's so easy
G F#m6 Em7sus4
to be free
D
of the moonlit nights
C#m6
and the stars were high
C Bm7
you can see Savannah shine across the waves
D
I know you must move on

and I will carry on
