Island Of The Honest Man

	  		

I was picked up and then dropped off in a  
                                            B  F#m 
culture counter-clockwise turned around 
      C#m 
Dug a hole in Southern Carolina, 
E                                           B  F#m 
took me straight to China safe and sound 
A          E                                B  F#m  
Donated my map to the lost and found 


C#m 
While working for a common cause  
       E                                    B  F#m 
I only got a kamikaze state of mind 
          C#m 
This self defeating meeting of the minds 
   E                                        B  F#m 
is eating what was once so hard to find 
    A                     E                 B  F#m 
But right then the clouds parted in the sky 


    A               E                  B 
The horizon took us all a little by surprise 
      Cº                C#m     
By surprise, watch the sky 
And as the howling winds subdsided, 
the locals ran out, all waving their hands and singing: 


E                            A 
Welcome to the island of the honest man 
E                              A 
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us      
E                            A 
Welcome to the island of the honest man 
E                            A 
We don't believe in what the big people tell us 
B           Cº 
Wait here - stay here 


I was picked up and then dropped off in a  
                                            B  F#m 
culture counter-clockwise turned around 
         C#m         
Rolled a pair of dice in Paris  
         E                                  B  F#m 
that got me to paradise all safe and sound. 
A               E                           B  F#m 
Stole my temper back from the lost and found 


          A           
No longer needed to be seated on a  
E                                  B 
sinking ship just waiting there to drown 
         Cº               C#m 
There to drown - jump off now 
And as they lead us to their village, 
a thousand voices all started to sing out loud: 


E                            A 
Welcome to the island of the honest man 
E                              A 
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us

Wait here - stay here 


C#m                                            E 
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing 
C#m                                             E 
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go 
C#m                                                E 
And all the people on the island they already know why they sing 
C#m                                             E 
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go 
C#m                                            E 
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing 
C#m                                             E 
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go 
C#m                                                    E 
And all the people on the island they all want to show why they sing, 
C#m 
why they sing, why they sing, why they're singing
