Intro: , , , Cmin9
For the verses, whenever you see "D", just fiddle around with the
D, Dsus2, Dsus4, C9 and Cmin9 unless otherwise noted. To get the pattern, just
listen to the song.
The ship went down to lay on the ground
At the bottom of the sea
I wound up on a deserted island
F#maj
When the ancient lights held their dances in the sky
Well, they nearly got me thinking that I could stay
But I had to get out right away
Mmmmmm, mmmmm, ooh
Mm-hmm
But at last my shoes dropped back in the grooves
Of the city's slippery stairs
I stepped out on a deserted eyeland
F#maj
When the mirrors on the moon shine down onto my lagoon
They make me think a lot about a rental car
Filled with half a tank of gas
F#maj
Or what it would take to get me past
All the welcome signs they planted on the edge of town
Man, I must surely be the luckiest guy around
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!
