Island


Another tune I couldn't find on here, so have subbed how I play it, the Drun is just a D chord played slowly down then back up, play with it yourself, see what feels and sounds right for you. I have probably made a pile of mistakes on this one, but if it prompts someone else to submit a better version, everyone wins. As always any mistukes, feck ups or otherwise are mine, if you like it, go on, go mad RATE IT ! - flatwound - THE ISLAND ** CAPO 3rd FRET** D A D A D A D A D A D A They say the skies of Lebanon are burning D A D A Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat D A D A They're showing pictures on the tele-vision D A Drun Women and children dying in the street G Now we're still at it in our own place D A Drun Still trying to reach the future through the past, Still tryin' to G G (TACET) Carve tomorrow from a tombstone A D G But hey don't listen to me, This wasn't meant to be no sad song A D A D We've heard too much of that before A G A D Right now I only want to be here with you 'til the morning dew comes falling G A D A D I wanna take you to the island and trace your footprints in the sand A And in the evening when the sun goes down G A D D We'll make love to the sound of the ocean D A D A They're raising battles over by the markets D A D A Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard wall D A D A Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown D A D run The way a holy flag is gonna fall G D A D run Up here we sacrifice our children,To feed the,Worn out dreams of yesterday G G (TACET) And teach them "Dying will lead us into Glory" A D G But hey don't listen to me, This wasn't meant to be a sad song A D A D We've heard too much of that before D A G A D Right now I only wanna be here with you 'til the morning dew comes falling CHORUS....I wanna take you to the island etc e|-5--2--3--0--2-----0------0----5--2--3--0--2-----------------------| B|-----------------3------2---3----------------3---2h3p2--0----------| G|---------------------4-------------------------------------2--0----| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------4-| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D A D A I know us plain folks don't see all the story D A D A I know peace and love's just copping out D A D A I guess these young boys dying in the ditches D A Drun That's just what being free is all about G G How this twisted wreckage down on Main Street D A Drun Will bring us all together in the end G G G G As we go marching down the road to freedom...
