Version with only 1 key presented by the Bee Gees band
Intro [C][F]-[C]x 2
1. [C]Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth [C7]comb I was [F]soft inside
There was something going [C]on [F][C]
[C]You do something to me that I can’t explain
Hold me closer and I feel no [C7]pain ev’ry [F]beat of my heart
We got something going [C]on
Tender love is [Fmaj7]blind, It requires a dedication.
[Fm]All this love we feel needs no conversation
Chorus: we [C]ride it together …Ah ah
[C]Making love to one another …Ah ah
[G7]Islands in the [C]stream. that is what we [F]are
No one in bet-[Dm7]ween how can we be wrong
Sail away with [C]me to another [F]world
And we re-[C]ly on each other uh huh
From one [Dm7]lover to another uh [C]huh
2. [C]I can’t live without you if the love is gone
Ev’rything is nothing if you got no [C7]one
And you did [F]walk in the night slowly losin’ sight of the [C]real thing [F][C]
But [C]that won’t happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way [C7]out and the [F]messages is clear
This could be the year of the [C]real thing
No more will you [Fmaj7]cry baby I will hurt you never
We [Fm]start and end as one in love forever we can
