"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!

i will dress your eyelids with dimes upon your eyes
lay you close to water green your grave will rise
go to sleep now, little ugly
go to sleep now little fool
forty winking in the beelfry
you'll not feel the drowning
you'll not feel the drowning
