C
He left Maine 'cause he needed a change
 G 
And he was desperate to rearrange
F
priorities, And he thought the sea
G
Would be the best place to be
C
So he saved his money, sold his car
 G 
And with his eye set on a Southern star
F
Got the courage to follow his heart
G
Set out for a brand new start

Chorus:
        F
He's an island boy
             C 
Now he's an island boy
 G                       F              C
Living his life where stress is the enemy
            F
Now he's an island boy
                   C 
A stone's throw from St. Croix
     Dm                 G              F
He's finally found his piece of serenity

Now he tends bar at the Old Mango
And he sees tourists come and go
With their pressed pants and camera case
Too much sun burned on their face
Now he watches the snow on CNN
With all of his dope-smokin' friends
Just look at the hell they must be in
Swears he won't go back again

Chorus

F                                 C
You know the love of his life has always been Emily
F     C                G
She loves the man she sees

In her island boy
Now he's an island boy
Living his life where stress is the enemy
Now he's an island boy
A stone's throw from St. Croix
He's finally found his piece of serenity

Island boy
A stone's throw from St. Croix
Island boy
Island boy
Island boy
