[Em]Seven [A]Islands [Em]to the [A]high side [Em]of the [A]bay [Em]across
the [A]bay
[Em]To the [A]sunset [Em]through the [A]blue light [Em]of a [A]fiery
[Em]autumn [A]haze[Em][A]
[Em]We went [A]walking [Em]on the [A]high side [Em]of the [A]bay on a
[Em]chilly [A]morn
[Em]And we [A]saw how [Em]leaves had [A]fallen [Em]on the [A]beds where
[Em]trees are [A]born

[C]Any man in his [A]right mind could not [C]fail to be [D]made [A]aware
[C]Any woman with gift of [A]wisdom would not [C]seek her [D]answers [A]there

Seven Islands to the high side of the bay if you're lookin west
To the sunset you can see it all in fiery autumn dress
....(play style 2)
Anytime would be the right time to come up to your bed of boughs
Anybody with a wish to wander could not fail but to be aroused

[Em]Do do do [A]dit, [Em]do do do [A]dit
[Em]Living high in the [A]city [Em]guess you think it's a [A]pretty good
[Em]way
You get to [A]learn that when[Em] you get burned you got [A]nothin to say[Em]
You seem to [A]think because[Em] you got chicken to go[A] you're in [Em]luck
....(play style 4)

....(play style 3)
Do do do dit, do do do dit
Do do do dit, do do do dit
Look around at the mornin guess you're doin the best you can
Surely you know that when you go nobody gives you a hand
Think of the air you're breathin in, think of the time you waste
Think of the right and wrong and consider the frown on your face
....(play style 2)
It's time you tried livin on the high side of the bay you need a rest
Any woman or a man with a wish to fade away could be so blessed
....(play style 4)
Fortune will not find you in your mansion turned to gold
[C]Brothers will des[D]ert you when your [G]nights turn long and [F]cold
....(play style 5)
If you [C]feel it you [F]better belie[G]ve it
[F]You're gonna see[C] it so [F]you really know[G]
[F]It is [C]rising [F]like a feath[G]er [F]dipping and danc[C]ing [F]from
below[G]
[F]There's a [C]new wave [F]that is [G]breaking [F]in the [C]wake of a
[F]passing [G]ship
[F]Every [C]nation's [F]gonna be shak[G]en [F]put it togeth[C]er, [F]don't
let it slip[G] [F]

Seven Islands to the high side of the bay cross the bay
To the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze
