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 !

THE ISLAND
** CAPO 3rd FRET**
D A D A D A D A
They say the skDies of LebAanon are buDrning A
Those mighty ceDdars bleAeding in the hDeat A
They're showing pictDures Aon the tele-viDsion A
D A Drun
Women and children dying in the street
GNow 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
But hAey don't listen to me, TDhis wasn't meant to be no sGad song
We've heard too mAuch of that beDforeA D
Right now I only want to Abe here with you 'til the moGrning dAew comes falDling
I wanna take you to the isGland and trace your fooAtprints in the sDandA D
And in the evening when the sAun goes down
We'll make lGove to the soAund of the ocDean D
They're raising baDttles oAver by the marDkets A
Whitewashing sloDgans Aon the shipyard wDall A
Witchdoctors praDying fAor a mighty shoDwdown A
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"
But hey don't lisAten to me, TDhis wasn't meant to be a sGad song
We've heard too mAuch of that beDforeA D
RiDght now I only wanna Abe here with you 'til the moGrning dAew comes falDling
CHORUS....I wanna take you to the island etc
