Intro

G# Cm (x3)

Verse One

[G#]Black flies on the [Cm]windowsill

That we are

That we are
That we are to [G#]know
Winter stole [Cm]summer's thrill
And the river's crack[G#]ed and cold

[G#]See the sky is [Cm]no man's land
A darkened [G#]plume to stay
Hope here needs a [Cm]humble hand
Not a fox [G#]found in your place

Cm G# (x2)

[Cm]

Chorus

[Cm]And no man is an [A#]island, oh this I [G#]know
But can't you see, [Cm]oh?
Maybe you were the [A#]ocean, when I was just a [G#]stone

Verse Two

[G#]Black flies on the [Cm]windowsill

That we are

That we are
That we are to [G#]hold
Comfort came ag[Cm]ainst my will
And every story [G#]must grow old

Still I'll be a [Cm]traveller
A gypsy's r[G#]eins to face
But the road is [Cm]wearier
With that fool [G#]found in your place

Chorus (x2)

[Cm]And no man is an [A#]island, oh this I [G#]know
But can't you see, [Cm]oh?
Maybe you were the [A#]ocean, when I was just a [G#]stone

[Cm]And no man is an [A#]island, oh this I [G#]know
But can't you see, [Cm]oh?
Maybe you were the [A#]ocean, when I was just a [G#]stone
