[Verse]
                 D                    G
Lately I've been thinking of a golden island
                    C                   D                            G
Where we drank that sweet, dark rum and listened to that crazy steel band
       C                   D            Em
How we danced all night in Frenchtown
         D         C              G  C   G
Swum all day, just lazing 'round
               D              G
Maybe we could go there once again

[Verse]
                           D               G
It was good to leave those bad times far behind
           C                    D                        G
Although I lost a little on the way, I didn't really mind
              C                  D
'Cause what I lost, was long overdue
          Em         D         C     G  C   G
And maybe nothing to lose, you knew
               D              G
Maybe we could go there once again

[Chorus]
               C
'Cause we were living just for the day
           G           D      G
Instead of wishing our lives away
          Em            D    C                   D      D7
We didn't know where we were going and we didn't care

One more week of this weather and I'll go insane
          C                  D                        G
I want to feel the sun on my skin instead of freezing rain
      C                     D
Let's follow the tradewinds on down
 Em     D        C    G  C
'Til we find the sun
G              D              G
Maybe we could go there once again

[Chorus]
               C
'Cause we were living just for the day
           G           D      G
Instead of wishing our lives away
          Em            D    C                   D      D7
We didn't know where we were going and we didn't care

Maybe we could go there (maybe we could go)

Maybe we could go there (maybe we could go)
