[Notes]

He plays it with some crazy obscure chord positions

and picking patterns but these are what I believe them

to be. It sounds good on a ukulele this way as well.

[Intro]

C F C Dm7
I drifted in the Doldrums, almost dead,

G7 C G7
A weedy, watery, trail,

C C7
With a useless rag,

F C
hangin above my head,

Dm7 G7 C G7
Not a breath o' breeze to fill my sail,

C E7 F C
Then liftin' up my spyglass, ol' Buckley's hope,

G7 C D7 C7 C
I seen somethin' o'er the waves,

C
I throwed my things,

F C
I left my boat,

G C C7
And swam out on my way.

[Chorus]

C7 F
On a Desert Isle,

F E7 D G7
Here I sing, oh-de-lee-ee-oh-de-lay-ee,

C7
Soft an' sweet

G7 D7 G7
Got no shirt or shoes upon my feet,

G7 C F C7 F
Out in the middle of an o-o-ocean,

C F
Doin' my thing,

E7 C G7 C
I'm happy just to dream, and sing,

C7 D7 Dm7
Out livin' like a marabout king,

G7 C7 G7
Out on a Desert Isle

[Verse 2]

C7 F G7
The shadin' palm trees bend an' sway,

C G7 C G7
The fish swim 'bout my feet,

C C7 F C
And a breeze blowin' soft 'pon the cordgrass play,

G7 C7 C
A lazy old melody, cool an' sweet,

C F C
As the sun goes sinkin' in a painted sky,

Dm7 G7 C G7
My eye's on a pool of light,

C C7 F C
Where the stars cast a twinklin' veil on high,

G7 C
Where I sleep out everynight...
