Hot Hot Heat - Island Of The Honest Man Chords & Tabs

Great song, thanks chordify.net that helped a lot. Enjoy!



I was picked up and then dropped off in a 
                                            B  F#m
culture counter-clockwise turned around
      C#m
Dug a hole in Southern Carolina,
E                                           B  F#m
took me straight to China safe and sound
A          E                                B  F#m 
Donated my map to the lost and found


C#m
While working for a common cause 
       E                                    B  F#m
I only got a kamikaze state of mind
          C#m
This self defeating meeting of the minds
   E                                        B  F#m
is eating what was once so hard to find
    A                     E                 B  F#m
But right then the clouds parted in the sky


    A               E                  B
The horizon took us all a little by surprise
      Cº                C#m    
By surprise, watch the sky
And as the howling winds subdsided,
the locals ran out, all waving their hands and singing:


E                            A
Welcome to the island of the honest man
E                              A
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us     
E                            A
Welcome to the island of the honest man
E                            A
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
B           Cº
Wait here - stay here

         C#m        
Rolled a pair of dice in Paris 
         E                                  B  F#m
that got me to paradise all safe and sound.
A               E                           B  F#m
Stole my temper back from the lost and found

          A          
No longer needed to be seated on a 
E                                  B
sinking ship just waiting there to drown
         Cº               C#m
There to drown - jump off now
And as they lead us to their village,
a thousand voices all started to sing out loud:


E                            A
Welcome to the island of the honest man
E                              A
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us

Welcome to the island of the honest man
E                            A
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
B           Cº
Wait here - stay here


C#m                                            E
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
C#m                                             E
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
C#m                                                E
And all the people on the island they already know why they sing
C#m                                             E
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
C#m                                            E
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
C#m                                             E
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
C#m                                                    E
And all the people on the island they all want to show why they sing,
C#m
why they sing, why they sing, why they're singing


E                            A
Welcome to the island of the honest man
E                              A
