D
The ship went down to lay on the ground
D
At the bottom of the sea
D
I wound up on a deserted island
BmF#majF#7
When the ancient lights held their dances in the sky
AE
Well, they nearly got me thinking that I could stay
GGm
But I had to get out right away
DDsus2GA
Mmmmmm, mmmmm, ooh
DDsus4
Mm-hmm
D
But at last my shoes dropped back in the grooves
D
Of the city's slippery stairs
D
I stepped out on a deserted eyeland
BmF#majF#7
When the mirrors on the moon shine down onto my lagoon
AE
They make me think a lot about a rental car
Bm
Filled with half a tank of gas
F#majF#7
Or what it would take to get me past
AE
All the welcome signs they planted on the edge of town
GGm
Man, I must surely be the luckiest guy around
D
Spending all this time above the ground
***D, Dsus2, Dsus4, C9, Cmin9 for this entire verse:***
And the part that's right before the end
Goes over and over again:
"We all live on a deserted eyeland."
And the part that's right before the end
Goes over and over again:
"We all live on a deserted eyeland."
For acoustic playing purposes, just end on a D major barre chord (10th fret, relative to capo)
And that's all there is to it!
