Version 1 Version 2 
            Living On An Island
Status Quo
Whatever You Want 1979

A lovely one to strum along to.  Innit lovely?
If you want to strum along to the record then
you will need a capo on the second fret.
You can play it without a capo but it will put 
it in the key of G (as they do it live).  
(So obviously I have given you the shapes 
not the actual chords)

UPDATE:  
After nailing the bassline I have found some inversions
and extensions that I didn't see before.
NOTE: The bass changes the root note - not the guitar.

INTRO: |G| |C| |G| |C| |F| |C| |Csus4 C|


G
Easy when you're number one
      Em
Everybody say you're having fun
G
Smiling for the public eye
           Em
When your body say you wanna die
Am                 D
Living on an island
Em                   
Looking at another line
G                         Amadd11
Waiting for my friend to come
               G
And we'll get high


G
Hugh he got a real nice place
Em
Cruxie gonna be there soon
    G
And I just want to see his face
             Em
I'm getting lonely in my empty room
Am                 D
Living on an island
Em
Working at another line
G                        Am/G
Waiting for my friend to come
                G
And we'll get high


Dm7                    C
Passing time away in blue skies
Dm7                       C
Thinking of the smile in her eyes
B7sus4      E
Easy, it's easy


A
Living on an island
F#m
Oh boy, we're having fun
A
Living on an island
F#m
Thinking 'bout the things I've done
Bm                  E
Living on an island
F#m
Searching for an other line
A                        Bm/A
Waiting for my friend to come
               A
And we'll get high
A                         Dm6
Waiting for my friend to come
N.C.           F#m  A
And we'll get high
                       F#m  A
I said we're gonna get high
                      F#m  A
Yeah, we're gonna get high
F#m                       G D A
We're gonna touch the sky


|G| |D| |A| |A| to fade...

Live, they tend to end with a Dm6 I think.
Something like that.
I would play the Amadd11 thusly: 557555
