I'm on an island, but I've got nowhere to swim

Oh what a mood I am in, I'm on an island
                                D
I'm on an island, since my girl left me behind
              F                G          C
She said that I'm not her kind, I'm on an island
             Am                               Dm
But there is nowhere else on earth I'd rather be

Than if my long-lost little girl was here with me-ee

I'm on an island, and I've got nowhere to run
            F           G             C
Because I'm the only one who's on the island

They should be as follows-basically, everything's moved down 1/2 a step. The only
thing I'm not too sure about is the B-it may be some variation on a B chord.
For instance, a B7 sounds OK, too.
