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
RE DO#m6
you can leave the island
DO SIm7
but you can't leave my love
SOL FA#m6 MIm7sus4
you can't take back what you gave away
RE DO#m6
you can leave the island
DO SIm7
but you can't leave my heart
SOL FA#m6 MIm7sus4
you know the memory remains
RE
of the moonlit nights
DO#m6
and the stars were high
DO SIm7
you can see Savannah shine across the waves
RE
dance along the shore
DO#m6
take our time for more
DO SIm7
and all along you know our hearts will sing
RE DO#m6
you can leave the island
DO SIm7
but you can't leave my love
SOL FA#m6 MIm7sus4
you can't take back what you gave away
RE DO#m6
you can leave the island
DO SIm7
but you can't leave my heart
SOL FA#m6 MIm7sus4
you know the memory remains
RE DO#m6
and I loved you
DO SIm7
from the moment we first met
RE DO#m6
thinkin of you
DO SIm7
and I never will forget
RE
and the feeling
DO#m6
had me reeling
DO
I can't believe it
SIm7
it's so easy
SOL FA#m6 MIm7sus4
to be free
RE
of the moonlit nights
DO#m6
and the stars were high
DO SIm7
you can see Savannah shine across the waves
RE
I know you must move on
DO#m6
and I will carry on
DO SIm7
as long as the memory remains
RE DO#m6
you can leave the island
DO SIm7
but you can't leave my love
SOL FA#m6 MIm7sus4
you can't take back what you gave away
RE DO#m6
you can leave the island
DO SIm7
but you can't leave my heart
SOL FA#m6 MIm7sus4
you know the memory remains
jam on the chords
the rest of the lyrics are ad libbed
the feeling rarely ever fades
and how I wish the you could stay
