I Am An Island Chords & Lyrics - Merle Haggard

[G]They say no man is an island
[C]Thats all I hear from my old [G]friends
They say I should forget you
And [C]learn to love [D]again
But [G]I don't need nobody
[C]Tryin to tell me what to [G]do
And I don't want nobody else
[D]If I can't have [G]you.

[G]I am an [C]island, I just [Am]want to be [G]alone
Time means nothing to a [D]stone
I am an [G]island
I am an [C]island, I'm [Am]driftin on the [G]sea
Till you come back to [D]me
I am an [G]island

[G]I've boarded up the windows
[C]Locked and bolted all the [G]doors
I don't want nobody
Comin [C]round to see me [D]anymore
I [G]just wanna hold your picture
[C]Lose my mind in your sweet [G]perfume
Sit here in the shadows
Starin [D]out the window of our [G]room

[G]I am an [C]island, I just [Am]want to be [G]alone
Time means nothing to a [D]stone
I am an [G]island
I am an [C]island, I'm [Am]driftin on the [G]sea
Till you come back to [D]me
I am an [G]island

[G]I am an [C]island, I just [Am]want to be [G]alone
Time means nothing to a [D]stone
I am an [G]island
I am an [C]island, I'm [Am]driftin on the [G]sea
Till you come back to [D]me
I am an [G]island
