Intro: D alternating bottom string D and top 3 strings of the chord, listen to 
the song to know what I mean!
Carries on throughout the song apart from with the Bm.
If I Dwas to walk from where I am
To where you are right now
I'd Ghave to cross eight borders and three Dseas
But A11that might show you Gwhat you meant to Dme
If I Dwas to make this journey long
I'd have to learn to swim
Much Gbetter than my doggy paddle Dis
But A11then you might beGlieve me when I Dsay
The Bmtime will come when Gyou and I
Are Dnot so far aA11way
And I Dwon't be singing Gthis song on that Dday
I will Dset out for your island home
When my front crawl's up to scratch
And Gwhen I've written my arrival Dsong
I'm A11working on it Gnow
It's almost Ddone
Keep the D going until the end and then finish on bottom string D
