(Polynesian drums)

[Chorus]
C
Drums of the islands, you're beating in my heart
       C                         G
You're with me no matter where I roam
   G
If ever I wander, if ever we're apart
            G                C
I know that you will lead me home

[Verse 1]
C
If I should journey across the deep blue sea
     C                        G
I'll never forget these coral shores
G
Drums of the islands, I hear you calling me
           G            C
And I'll return forever yours

[Verse 2]
C
I love each valley, each grain of sand, each hill
    C                         G
The flowers, the music of the isles
G
These are the things that I love and always will
             G                 C
Though I may roam ten thousand miles

[Chorus]
C
Drums of the islands, you're beating in my heart
       C                         G
You're with me no matter where I roam
   G
If ever I wander, if ever we're apart
            G                C
I know that you will lead me home

[Chorus]
C
Drums of the islands, you're beating in my heart
       C                         G
You're with me no matter where I roam
   G
If ever I wander, if ever we're apart
            G                C
I know that you will lead me home

[Outro]
C
Drums of the islands, you're beating in my heart
       C                         G
You're with me no matter where I roam
   G
If ever I wander, if ever we're apart
            G                C 
I know that you will lead me ho-ome ...
