Dropped one step
low to high
Chords
Key of D major
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
you can leave the island
but you can't leave my love
you can't take back what you gave away
you can leave the island
but you can't leave my heart
you know the memory remains
of the moonlit nights
and the stars were high
you can see Savannah shine across the waves
dance along the shore
take our time for more
and all along you know our hearts will sing
you can leave the island
but you can't leave my love
you can't take back what you gave away
you can leave the island
but you can't leave my heart
you know the memory remains
and I loved you
from the moment we first met
thinkin of you
and I never will forget
and the feeling
had me reeling
I can't believe it
it's so easy
to be free
of the moonlit nights
and the stars were high
you can see Savannah shine across the waves
I know you must move on
and I will carry on
as long as the memory remains
you can leave the island
but you can't leave my love
you can't take back what you gave away
you can leave the island
but you can't leave my heart
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
