Islands In The Stream      Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers

C
Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
                                        C7
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
        F                                   C
I was soft inside there was something goin on
C                         
You do something to me that I can't explain
                              C7         F
Hold me closer and I feel no pain ev'ry beat of my heart
                      C     F   C
We got something goin on
               Fmaj7       
Tender love is blind  It requires a dedication
Fm
All this love we feel needs no conversation

CHORUS:

        G7        C                     F
Islands in the stream  that is what we are
              Dm7
No one in be-tween How can we be wrong
               C               F
Sail away with me to another world

          Dm7                 C

C
I can't live without you if the love was gone
                                    C7
Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one 
             F
And you did walk in the night
                           C         F  C
Slowly losin sight of the real thing       But

That won't happen to us and we got no doubt
                                   C7
Too deep in love and we got no way out
          F       
And the message is clear this could be the year
          C          F    C
For the real thing
                 Fmaj7  
No more will you  cry  Baby I will hurt you never
    Fm
We start and end as one in love for ever we can
