Islands in the stream

Version with only 1 key presented by the Bee Gees band

Intro [C][F]-[C] x 2

1. [C] Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth [C7] comb I was [F] soft inside
There was something going [C] on [F][C]

[C] You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no [C7] pain ev'ry [F] beat of my heart
We got something going [C] on
Tender love is [Fmaj7] blind, It requires a dedication.
[Fm] All this love we feel needs no conversation

Chorus: we [C] ride it together …Ah ah
[C] Making love to one another …Ah ah
[G7] Islands in the [C] stream. that is what we [F] are
No one in bet-[Dm7] ween how can we be wrong
Sail away with [C] me to another [F] world
And we re-[C] ly on each other uh huh
From one [Dm7] lover to another uh [C] huh

2. [C] I can't live without you if the love is gone
Ev'rything is nothing if you got no [C7] one
And you did [F] walk in the night slowly losin’ sight of the [C] real thing [F][C]

But [C] that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way [C7] out and the [F] messages is clear
This could be the year of the [C] real thing
No more will you [Fmaj7] cry baby I will hurt you never
We [Fm] start and end as one in love forever we can
