[G] [Gm]
On a coconut [G] island, I'd like to be a [D] castaway with you.
On a coconut island, there wouldn't be so very [G] much to do.
I would linger a while and just gaze into your [D] lovely eyes of blue.
Then I'd walk for a mile and come running back to be [G] with you.
[Bb] There, [D] the waves would make a [A] bell, willing slaves of you and me [G] forever.
[A] And [G] for days and days and days we'd [D] never gaze out where the ships [A] go sailing [D] by.
On a [G] coconut island, [A] I'd like to be a [D] castaway with you.
On a coconut island, where we could make our [G] dreams come true.
On a coconut island, I'd like to be a [D] castaway with you.
On a coconut island, there wouldn't be so very [G] much to do.
I would linger a while and just gaze into your lovely [D] eyes of blue.
Then I'd walk for a mile and come running back to be [G] with you.
[E] Then [D] the waves would make a bell, willing slaves of you and me [Am]
[G] forever.
[Bb] [D] Then we'd lace for days and days and never gaze out where the ships [C]
[G] go sailing [D] by.
On a [G] coconut island, I'd like to be a [D] castaway with you.
Just to bask in your smile and to realize my dreams [G] come true.

On [G] a coconut island, I'd like to be [C] a castaway with [D] you.
Coconut Island Baby, [Am] we could make our [G] dreams come true baby.
