D      D7           G              
In the middle of an island, 

       Gdim          D   G/B   D
In the middle of the o - cean

        Em7           A7   Em7  A7
You and I beneath the moonlight    

              G/B    Gdim      D    Gdim   D
With just the monkeys and the palm trees

       D7           G
In the middle of an island, 

          Gdim             D    G/B   D
When it's time to do some kis - sin',

        Em7           A7   Em7  A7             
Plenty time for lotsa lov -in'     

            Edim    Gdim     D
And walkin' barefoot in the sand.


       D7         G    G/F#     Em7  G/B
Though there's no is - land at all,    

       Gm7    Gdim    D
Just a picture on my wall

   E       Bm7-5   E7 Cdim      A7  Em7  A7
My darlin', how I wish we could be


D      D7           G              
In the middle of an island, 

      Gdim           D   G/B   D
In the middle of the o - cean

       Em7          A7   Em7  A7
You and I forever, dar - lin' 

     Edim      Gdim      D
On a par - a - dise for two.
