[Verse]
A              E         A            D          A      E        A 
I will live my life as a lobsterman's wife on an island in the blue bay. 
A                    E           A7             D 
He will take care of me, he will smell like the sea, 
     A           E                 A 
And close to my heart he'll always stay.
[Verse]
A                 E               A         D             A 
I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls, little Ella and 
E         A 
Nelly and Faye. 
A                       E             A7            D 
While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare 
       A      E          A 
On our island in the blue bay.
[Chorus]
     E        E7             D       A 
Far away far away, I want to go far away. 
     E                       A 
To a new life on a new shore line. 
          E         E7          D          A 
Where the water is blue and the people are new. 
    E            D (hold..) 
To another island, in another life.

[Verse]
A                     E          A         D        A         E          A 
There's a boy next to me and he never will be anything but a boy at the bar. 
                     E               A7         D 
And I think he's the tops, he's where everything stops. 
      A        E             A 
How I love to love him from afar. 
        A                E          A       D         A 
When he walks right pass me then I finally see on this bar stool I can't  
E 
stay. 
        A         E         A7          D 
So I'm taking my frown to a far distant town 
       A      E         A 
On an island in the blue bay.
[Chorus]
     E       E7               D      A 
Far away far away, I want to go far away. 
     E                      A 
To a new life on a new shore line. 
           E       E7           D         A 
Where the water is blue and the people are new. 
    E            D (hold..) 
To another island, in another life.
[Bridge]
A 
I want to go far away. 
                            E 
Away away, I want to go far away, away, away 
                            A 
I want to go far away, far away.
[Outro]
          E        E7           D         A 
Where the water is blue and the people are new. 
   E                D        A 
To another life, to another life. 
   E 
To another shore line 
D (hold..)      A (hold..) 
In another life.
