Nice, simple, laidback song. For the second line, you could slide G back one fret to the nut and take off the middle finger in the chord. The fancy D+ is also not needed, just sounds good, you could have D7 instead.
Here's a video of the song with Louis Armstrong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCIAVcaPCaI
On a Coconut Island
D+ G
On a coconut island
D7 Db7 D7
I'd like to be a castaway with you
Am
On a coconut Island
D7 G
There wouldn't be so vey much to do
D7 G
I would linger a while and
D7 Db7 D7
just gaze into you lovely eyes of blue
Am
then I'd walk for a mile and
D7 G G7
come running back to be with you
D7 C G
there the waves would make a pair of willing slaves of you and me forever
D7 G D7
and we’d lay for days and days and never gaze out where the ships go sailin by
D+ G
On a coconut island
D7 Db7 D7
I'd like to be a castaway with you
Am
On a coconut Island
D7 G
where we could make our dreams come true
