I Will Acoustic

• Em

Chris de Burgh - I Will
From the albums: At the End of a Perfect Day (1977) and Home (2012)
Comment for any corrections and please rate

The chords I wrote here are for the acoustic version of 
Goodnight of the album Home, 
Though you can also play them along with the original,
But then I suggest to play the song without a capo.


Capo 4

Intro:
Em C G D Em C Em 

     Em         C
I'm going to an island,
           G       D        Em
Where the sun will always shine,
           C                            Em
Where the moon is always riding on the sea,
      Em            C
And when I go I'll leave behind,
        G          D       Em
These chains that hold me down,
     C                                Em
The time has come to set my spirit free,

Em D C Em Em D C Em Em D C B7      Em
I.........I.........I....... I will,

      Em            C
And there beside a mountain stream,
      G       D         Em
I'll build a house of stone,
     C                                Em
And work the wood of cedar, pine and fir,
      Em              C
And then I'll make a garden,
           G      D        Em
And I'll plant a field of corn,
  C                                 Em
Press my hands deep into mother earth,

Em D C Em Em D C Em Em D C B7      C
I.........I.........I....... I will,
              C
Oh, yes I will,
         G            C            B7
Just to be a part of nature once again,
         Em C G D Em C Em
And I will...

      Em                 C
And then I'll teach my children love,
     G      D       Em
Like every father should,
     C                            Em
For we are part of every living thing,
      Em              C
And speak of half-forgotten words,
      G         D       Em
Like peace and joy and good,
         C                                 Em
For the world can only live when love can sing,

Em D C Em Em D C Em Em D C B7      C
I.........I.........I....... I will,
              C
Oh, yes I will,
               G            C            G   C
And they will be a part of nature once again,
               G              C            B7
And they will feel a part of nature once again, the time is now,
         C                         B7
Just to be a part of nature once again,
         Em C G D Em
And I will, 
C                Em
I, I, someday I will...
