"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!
