Em          D                 C                Bm         Em
I came to a western island as far as a man can walk is my land
  C                       G             A                    D
I cleared ten acres and a house I built into the side of the hill

Verse 1

  Em                D                       C                        Bm         Em
The roof leaks, the windows rattle, and the grass in the high ground won't feed cattle
    C                G                   A              D
The west wind blown off the sea makes it hard to grow a tree

Verse 2

Em          D                 C                Bm         Em
One cow and a lean-to bier, a spring close by and a driftwood fire
 C                  G                 A               D
A clear view of the settin' sun and a 12 gauge hammer gun

Verse 3

Em              D                    C                          Bm         Em
I keep sheep, I fish deep water in a high bowed boat called the Neptune's Daughter
 C                G                    A                D
She will ride any western gale and can carry a stack of sails

Verse 4

Em                   D                       C                    Bm     Em
Some nights when the bright lights flicker I sail to the mainland for my liquor
 C                       G                 A               D
I haven't got a woman to call my own, but I never wake up alone

Verse 5

Em             D                       C                    Bm          Em
A man needs to feel the ground and the wind to tell him the world spins round
 C                     G                    A                 D
To watch the stars and taste the sea, and a woman to keep him free

Chorus

Em          D                 C                Bm         Em
I came to a western island as far as a man can walk is my land
  C                       G             A                    D
I cleared ten acres and a house I built into the side of the hill
