I've seen a couple versions of this tab, but I felt most were off a bit. I think
this version sounds A TAD better! Feel free to email/make corrections :) It's a
weird strumming pattern that you'll have to figure out on your own
CAPO 1ST FRET
A E A D A E A
I will live my life as a lobsterman's wife on an island in the blue bay.
A E A7 D
He will take care of me, he will smell like the sea,
A E A
And close to my heart he'll always stay.
A E A D A
I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls, little Ella and
E A
Nelly and Faye.
A E A7 D
While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare
A E A
On our island in the blue bay.
E E7 D A
Far away far away, I want to go far away.
E A
To a new life on a new shore line.
E E7 D A
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
E D (hold..)
To another island, in another life.
A
A E A D A E A
There's a boy next to me and he never will be anything but a boy at the bar.
E A7 D
And I think he's the tops, he's where everything stops.
A E A
How I love to love him from afar.
A E A D A
When he walks right pass me then I finally see on this bar stool I can't
E
stay.
A E A7 D
So I'm taking my frown to a far distant town
A E A
On an island in the blue bay.
E E7 D A
Far away far away, I want to go far away.
E A
To a new life on a new shore line.
E E7 D A
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
E D (hold..)
To another island, in another life.
(the bridge is various As and Es... play to your liking as long as you end on A)
I want to go far away.
Away away, I want to go far away, away, away
I want to go far away, far away.
E E7 D A
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
E D A
To another life, to another life.
E
To another shore line
D (hold..) A (hold..)
In another life.
During the part "on this bar stool I can't stay", there's some different chord, not an A. I can't quite tell what it is, though.
It can kind of work there if you throw the E in quicker and finish on an A. seems to sound alright.
