Verse 1
(C major) (E minor) (C major) (F major) (C major) (E minor) (D minor) (F major) (A major) (G major) (C major) I drifted
(G major) in the Doldrum (C major) s,
(F major) almost (C major) dead,
(G major) A weedy, watery, (C major) trail,
(G major) With a (C major) useless rag, (E minor)
(C major) (F major) hangin above (C major) my head, (E minor)
(G major) Not a (D minor) breath o' breeze to fill (G major) my sail,
(C major) (G major)
(C major) Then liftin' up (G major) my spyglass,
(F major) ol' Buckley's (C major) hope,
(G major) I (F major) seen (C major) somethin' (D minor) o'er (C major) the waves,
(D major) (C major)
I throwed (E minor) my things,
(C major) (F major) I left (C major) my boat,
(G major) And swam out on (E minor) (C major) my way.
On a Desert (F major) Isle,
Verse 2
Here I sing, oh- de- lee- ee- (D minor) oh- de- (C major) lay- ee,
(G major) Soft (C major) an' sweet (D flatdim)
(D minor) Got no shirt or shoes (G major) upon my feet,
Out in the middle (D flat major) of an o- (C major) o- (F major) (C major) ocean,
(G minor) (F major)
Doin' (C major) my (D minor) thing,
I'm (E major) happy just (C major) to dream, (G major) and sing,
(C major) Out livin' like a mara (F major) bout king,
(G major) Out on a (C major) Desert Isle (F major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) The shadin' palm trees

Verse 3
(F major) bend (C major) an' sway,
(G major) The fish (B minor) swim (G major) 'bout (C major) my feet,
(G major) And a (C major) breeze blowin' (G major) soft
(Edim) 'pon (F major) the (C major) cordgrass play,
A lazy (G major) old melody, (D minor) cool (C major) an' sweet, (D minor)
(G major) As (C major) the sun goes (G major) sinkin' in a painted (C major) sky,
My (G major) eye's on a pool (C major) of light,
(G major) Where the (C major) stars cast a (G major) twink
(C major) lin' (F major) veil on (C major) high, (E minor)
(G major) Where I (D minor) sleep out everynight... (C major) (G major) (F major) (C major)
(F major) One
Verse 4
mornin' the silence broke,
(D minor) As beset by a (C major) sea high- horned
in (G major) waves I (C major) awoke,
(A major) To find no remnants (D minor) of that paradise, (G major)
(B minor) What (G major) laid about me, were (Bdim) a changed,
(C major) unfriendly (F major) land, (C major)
From beyond the (F major) compass' reach,
I sings this song (C major) of water an' (D minor) dun e,
Of wonder (E major) s strange,
(C major) Out of the (G major) gloom,
there came a (C major) sound like (E minor) cry in' in (D flatdim) the night, (D major) (G major)
(D minor) My blue ruined (D major) eyes I (C major) thought lied,
(D major) A wo (G major) man draggin' (B minor) up,
(D major) out of that (E minor) (G major) squawlin' tide.
Verse 5
On a desert (F major) isle, (G major) (D minor)
Oh- de- lee- oh- (C major) oh- de- lay- ee,
tired an' beat,
Writin' (D minor) help, in letters fifteen (G major) feet,
(E minor)
(G major) Out on the beach,
beside (C major) an o- o- (F major) (C major) ocean, (F major)
Woe (C major) is (F major) me,
a cryin (E major) baby boun (C major) cin' on (G major) my knee,
(C major) In a little (A major) grass shack (D minor) built for three, (G major)
(B minor) Out on a (E minor) Deser (G major) t (C major) Isle. (F major) (G major) (C major)
on a desert isle
