Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Come to  the island  to find peace And seek  tranquility
Li-li-li-li
Started  to drive Finding nothing  but
warmth  At fig tree bay
There's no  time, who  needs time?
Stop  the clock at half-past  nine
Take  out some cheese  and laze around
One  day  not sunday  I found us  a beach  to hide away
Whispering waves
Shapes in  the sand  Dream of centuries past  But who can tell
Sea shells  and dogs'tails  surround  me now
 The sun beats  down
Give me  the strength  to speak my mind
All  that  we have  clicking  by  For your  eyes and mine alone
Li-li-li-li
Maybe  your hey-day  I glanced  at the private  movie star
Brown  skin girl,  please take us back  to where the sun beats  down
Give me  the time  and peace of mind
 End on A...My first "by ear" transcription...
 although I've been figuring out and playing
 songs on guitar since I was 6 years old...
 I'm 53...
 Hope you like it! More to come!
