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

D            Dm
Don't rescue me, no no no
