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
