"The Island: You'll Not Feel The Drowning "


i figured i'd start my first tab as an easy one, since i was appalled this wasn't tabbed 
already.  it's too easy.  great beginner tune to work on singing/playing simultaneously 
well as fingerpicking style.  tabs and chords.  enjoy!

Am
i will dress your eyelids with dimes upon your eyes
Am
lay you close to water green your grave will rise
Em

Em

C                   G
you'll not feel the drowning
C                   G
you'll not feel the drowning
