Song: Cayman Islands Artist: Kings of Convenience Album: Riot on an Empty Street Tabbed by: Sascha Frost (Username DDball on youtube.com) This is one of my favorite Kings of Convenience songs. I noticed that the other tabs out some parts of this song, so I went ahead and tabbed out the full song. If you notice mistakes, please post a correction. I've included the order of the parts further down. this helps (= ***CAP0 1st Fret*** (All notes relative to capo) (Part 1) e|-0-----------0-----------0--------------------------------------------| B|----------3-----------3-----------3-----1--------0--------------------| G|-------2-----------2-----------2--------------------------------------| D|----3-----------3-----------3-----------------2-----------------------| A|-------------------------------------------3--------------------------| E|-1-----------1-----------3-----------3--------------------------------| (Part 2) e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-0--------0--0--------0--0--------0-----1--------3--------------------| G|-------0-----------0-----------0--------------0-----------------------| D|----2-----------2-----------2--------------2--------------------------| A|-3-----------3-----------0-----------0--------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| (Part 3) e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-3--------3--3--------3--3--------3-----0--------0--------------------| G|-------2-----------2-----------2--------------0-----------------------| D|----3-----------3-----------3--------------2--------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-1-----------1-----------3-----------3--------------------------------| (Part 4) e|-0-----------0-----------0-----------0--------------------------------| B|----------3-----------3-----------3-----------3-----------------------| G|-------2-----------2-----------2-----------2--------------------------| D|----4-----------4-----------4-----------4-----------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-2-----------2-----------2-----------2--------------------------------| (Part 5) e|-0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0---------| B|----------3-----------3-----------3-----------3-----------3----------3-| G|-------2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------2---| D|----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------2------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-1-----------1-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0---------| (Part 6) e|-8-----------8-----------8-----------8--------------------------------| B|----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------------------| G|-------0-----------0-----------0-----------0--------------------------| D|----7-----------7-----------7-----------7-----------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-0-----------0-----------0-----------0--------------------------------| (Part 7) e|-0-----------0-----------0-----------0--------------------------------| B|----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------------------| G|-------5-----------5-----------5-----------5--------------------------| D|----7-----------7-----------7-----------7-----------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-0-----------0-----------0-----------0--------------------------------| Song Order / Lyrics: Part 1 Part 2 Part 1 (Through the alley ways, to cool off in the shadows) Part 2 (Then into the street, following the water) Part 1 (There's a bearded man, paddling in his canoe) Part 2 (Looks as if he has, come all the way from the Cayman Islands) Part 1 Part 2 Part 1 (These canals it seems, they all go in circles) Part 2 (Places look the same, and we're the only difference) Part 1 (The wind is in your hair, it's covering my view I'm ...)
