"Treasure Islands" - John Gorka from "Jack's Crows" 1991

Standard tuning  Capo on 2nd fret

Intro:  G  D  A  Bm,  G  D  A  repeat

G             D    A  Bm
Love is never easy

            G             D        A  Bm
It's almost always out of your way

             G               D        A  Bm
It's not the path of least resistance

              G           D     C
It's not some words you get to say


       C                     D    Em
It's a stream running up the mountain

       C            D            Em 
It's a wave rolling out from the shore

  C                       D                Em   D  Em  D
I wish I could say I never felt that way before


  G                    D      A  Bm...
I have a friend that's lonely
She is chasing after her dreams
And she is the one and only
One who know how hard it will be

          C               D  Em
There's a treasure on her island

C              D       Em 
Buried in this city of news

  C                          D                 Em   D  Em  D
I wish I could say we didn't have that much to lose



G                   D       A  Bm  
One friend tried to end it

         G           D           C
He could not see the good in his life

                     D   Em
In his mirror or his pocket

        C              D           Em      
And his hopes had come down like a knife


There's treasure on his island
Buried in this city of dues
I wish I could say we didn't have that much to lose

C     D     Em   D  Em  D
Whoa, whoa, whoa

(Repeat first verse without C chord at the end, just repeat the G D A Bm chords)
