Islands Lyrics
http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=Mm7Le9nSNX4
That's my cover of this amazing song by Young the Giant and these are the exact chords I
used. I tried to keep that same open the session feeling it had.
I know that in my cover, the strumming rhythm I use for the last half of the song is
different than the rhythm in the orignial version but that's because in one part, I could
play that rhythm and sing at the same aaaand it's also easier that way xD. Well I hope
this helps anyone! :)

(One strum for each chord)
Five days
Underwater
Near your island
Off the coast
Five ways
You were my lover
Incantations
Of the tide
In rhyme
Oh, all in the glow I'll find you waiting
Oh, has it been so long now, I
Oh, I thought you knew that I'd be coming
The way you move, the foreign groove, at night
(Strum)
I could never
I could never hold you
Watch it rise up, where you hide your pearls
Feel it pile up, where you cast those stones you wear
When no one's home, do they feel cold on your bones
All the years I've missed your warmth,
Have you missed my warmth?
On your island
C Bm7 (repeat as many times as you want, depending if you want to add the ohh and
ahhs :P)
G (one strum)
