  May I remind you, that I'm still seaching tabs for "At the Harbour" and 

  "Carpet of the Sun" by Renaissance? I can hardly believe that among so many 

  talented musicians, nobody is willing to help a poor soul like me.

  

  {title:Island in the Sun}

  

  {st:Harry Belafonte}

  

  [C]This is my island [F]in the sun

  Where my [G7]people have toiled since [C]time begun.

  [C]I may sail on [Dm]many a sea

  Her [C]shores will always be [G7]home to [C]me.

  

  {start_of_chorus}

  [C]Oh, island [F]in the sun,

  [G7]Willed to me by my [C]father's hand

  [C]All my days I will [F]sing and praise

  Of your [G7]forests, waters, your [C]shining sands.

  {end_of_chorus}

  

  [C]As morning breaks the [F]heaven on high

  I [G7]lift my heavy [C]load to the sky.

  [C]Sun comes down with a [Dm]burning glow

  [C]Mingles my sweat with the [G7]earth be[C]low.

  

  {c:Chorus}

  

  [C]I see woman on [f]bended knees

  [G7]Cutting cane for her [C]family.

  [C]I see man at the [Dm]water side

  [C]Casting nets at the [G7]surging [C]tide.

  

  {c:Chorus}

  

  [C]I hope the day will [F]never come

  That [G7]I can't awake to the [C]sound of a drum,

  [C]Never let me miss [Dm]carnival

  With caly[C]pso songs philo[G7]sophi[C]cal.

  

  {c:Chorus}
