_ _ [E] Doing [Dm] my thing, [A]
I'm happy [D] just to [C] dream and sing.
[G] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [Db] I'm living like a [Dm] marigold king _ _ [G] out _ [G] _ on a _ desert [C] _ [F] isle.
_ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] The shade [Em] and palm [Am] trees [F] _
[B] bend and [Am] sway.
[Ebm] _ _ [Dm] _
The [B] fish swim by [C] my feet. _
[G] _ _ And a [Em] breeze blows soft [C] upon the cold [C] grass,
play a [E] glazed [B] old melody, _ cool [C] and sweet.
[G] _ _ _
[C] As the sun [D] goes sinking [F] in a [B] painted [Em] sky,
_ [Ebm] _
_ [Dm] _ my [G] eyes on [C] a pool of light,
_ _ [Em] _ [C] where the stars [G] cast twinkling _ [F]
veil on [C] high,
_ [Em] _ _
[F] where I sleep out _ [E] _ [C] every night.
_ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ Then _ _ _ one [F] _ _ _
_ _ [Am] morning [Dm] the silence broke.
[D] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [C] _ As [G] I sit by a sea of high horns [A] and waves as I walk,
_ [D] _ [Dm] I find no [Fm] remnant of that [G] paradise.
What lay about me [C] was a _ chained, unfriendly land. _ _ _
_ [E] From beyond the compass reach [F] I sing this song [C] of water and [Dm] dew. _
A wonder [E] strange, _ [C] out of the [E]
gloom there [G] came a sound like [C] crying in the night.
_ [A] _
_ _ My blue [D] moon eyes [Am] I thought [G] lying,
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
a [G] woman dragging up out of that scouring [G] tide. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ On a desert _ [F] isle, _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ holy, _ [C] _
holy.
_ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [C]
Tide and beach, _ _ riding [G] hail from letters fifteen feet.
_ _ _ _ [G] I'd only [Abm] be _ [G] _ [C] beside an _ _
_ [F] old _ [C] stream.

_ [Dm] _ Oh, it's me, a [D] crying [G] baby [C] by the lone [G] _ mountain [F] knee.
In [Em] a little _ grass sack [Dm] built for three.
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ Out on a _ desert isle.
