Islands In The Stream
Bee Gees
Based on the studio version from "Their Greatest Hits: The Record"

NOTE: Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's 1983 hit was written by the 
Brothers Gibb. The Bee Gees released a live version on their 1998 CD 
"One Night Only" which kept the country-pop feel of the original 
duet. In 2001, the Bee Gees recorded a studio version for their 
compilation CD "Their Greatest Hits: The Record." The 2001 version 
has an R& flavor, and includes lyrics they wrote for the chorus of 
Pras' 1998 "Ghetto Supastar," a reworking of the original Rogers/
Parton recording. That's the version I charted.

Robin Gibb's vocal on the 2001 version has a lot of reverb on it, 
making some vocals indistinct or indecipherable. However, it sounds 
to me like he often replaces the 1980s "ah ha"s with "hearts." Listen 
closely and you can hear a sibilant "s" which changes "another, ah 
ha" to "another's heart." The addition of the Pras chorus, and the 
deletion of the "making love" lyrics lend support to the idea that in 
this version most of the "ah ha"s have been replaced.

The 2001 version is in the Key of . Barry Gibb sings it in  in the 
live version. I prefer playing it in A with a capo.

Capo: 2

Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine-tooth comb

I was soft inside, there was something going on
You do something to me that I can't explain
. Hold me closer and I feel no pain 

Every beat of my heart, we got something going on

Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication
All this love we feel . needs no conversation
We ride it together, ah    ha
From one lover to another's hea-  heart

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between how can we be wrong?
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other's hea-  arts

From one lover to another's hea-heart

I can't live without you when the love has gone
Everythin' is nothin' when you got no one
And you walk in the night

Slowly losing sight of the real thing
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
. Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the messages is clear

This could be the year of the real thing

No more will you cry, baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one in love forever
We can ride it together, ah    ha
From one lover to another's hea-  heart

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between how can we be wrong?
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other's hea-  arts

From one lover to another's hea-art 

Ghetto supastar, that is what you are
Comin' from afar, reaching for the stars
Fly away with me to another place
And we rely on each other's hea-  art

From one lover to another's hea-art
