Spring On The Island

G C It’s spring on the island, the ice is in the bay. G Em Am D And the weather getting warmer now, soon be drifting away. C Em C Em The boys are out troutin’, Oh they’re going on a tear! C G D G It’s spring on the island and I wish I was there. G C Ah this boomtown’s got me down, I don’t know why I came, G Em Am D It must’ve been the money, though it works out just the same. C Em C Em No matter how much I make I spend as fast as I can make it! C G D G And if I could afford a plane trip out tomorrow, I’d take it. G C I wish I had the money back I spent on dope and beer, G Em Am D Though God knows it’s the only thing made it worth staying here. C Em C Em But more than the money I wish I had the time I let C G D G Slip by me now, there’s more than one way to get into to debt. G C And they say that time is money but I think it’s more than that. G Em Am D I’ll always have my pay cheque, but I’ll never get my time back. C Em C Em So it’s time and a half, or double time, but I think it’s a crime C G D G And sometimes I think they’re paying me for wasting my time G C It’s spring on the island, the ice is in the bay. G Em Am D And the weather getting warmer now, soon be drifting away. C Em C Em The boys are out troutin’, Oh they’re going on a tear! C G D G It’s spring on the island and I wish I was there.
