[Chorus]
D Fm Cast away on a desert island Em A7 Me and poor Crusoe are sharing the same fate D Fm Cast away on a desert island Em D With Great Britain written on its name plate
[Verse 1]
A Bm With my umbrella, I go walking C# F#m A Through all the sands on a building site A Bm Across the shopping malls and motorways C# Birds from Heathrow fill the F#m B Night with people flying to escape F#m Em A7 Friday comforts me and says, it's pay day
[Chorus]
D Fm Cast away on a desert island Em A7 Me and poor Crusoe are sharing the same fate D Fm Cast away on a desert island Em D With Great Britain written on its name plate
[Verse 2]
A Bm The game and coconuts is plentiful C# F#m A You pick 'em right off of a supermarket shelf A Bm And all the man-eaters are parked away C# Down in the garages F#m B While their selfish owners drinking to escape F#m Em A7 Lord of flies with cocktails in his conch shell
[Bridge]
D Em And don't rescue me, no no no A D C# This is my home, sweet home, dear D Em Don't rescue me, no no, hey no G A7 I am far from alone here
[Chorus]
D Fm Cast away on a desert island Em A7 Me and one nation are sharing the same fate D Fm Cast away on a desert island Em D With Great Britain written on it's name plate
[Outro]
D Dm Cast away on a desert island, cast away D Dm Cast away on a desert island, cast away D Dm Cast away on a desert island, cast away D Dm Cast away on a desert island, cast away D Dm Don't rescue me, no no no D Dm Don't rescue me, no no no D Dm Don't rescue me, no no no
