The Island You'll Not Feel The Drowning

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

tabbed by Y0UNGBL00D

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
go to sleep now, little ugly
Am
go to sleep now little fool
Em
forty winking in the beelfry
C                   G
you'll not feel the drowning
C                   G
you'll not feel the drowning
