Islands – The Xx
I transcribed one of the chords notes i'd seen so that it could be played easier on a
capo on the 4th fret
Also if you play along with song and mute the string is the spots marked with an * you
can get the stop-start effect that is prominent in the song
Capo 4
[Intro]
Em D C
Am G C
Em G D C
Am C
[Verse 1]
Em D C
I don't have to leave anymore
Am G C *
What I have is right here
Em G D C
Spend my nights and days before
Am C *
Searching the world for what's right here
Em D C
Underneath and unexplored
Am G C *
Islands and cities I have looked
Em G D C
Here, I saw
Am C
Something I couldn't over look
[Chorus]
C
I am yours now
Em
So now I don't ever have to leave
G
I've been found out
Am C
So now I'll never explore
[Verse 2]
Em G
See what I've done
Am
That bridge is on fire
C * Em D
Back to where I've been
C
I'm froze by desire
*
No need to leave
Em G
Where would I be
Am
If this were to go under
* Em D
That's a risk I'd take
C
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make
[Chorus]
C
I am yours now
Em
So now I don't ever have to leave
G
I've been found out
Am C
So now I'll never explore
C
I am yours now
Em
So now I don't ever have to leave
G
I've been found out
Am C
So now I'll never explore
[Outro]
C Em C Em
Am C Am C
C Em G Am C
