We have an official Islands tab made by UG professional guitarists.

Check out the tab

This song is brilliant, to get it sounding like the record
you need a bit of Reverb so it echoes :)

Great tab, awesome song. Here is an alternate way to play the break. Just bar across 4 and use your 4th finger on 7: [tab] e|-------------------------------------| B|----4-4-------4-4--------------------| G|-----4-4-------4-4-----4-4------4-4--| D|-6---------6--------6-6-6-6--6-6-6-6-| A|7-7-------7-7------4-4------4-4------| E|-------------------------------------| [/tab]

Whoops, I screwed up the spacing there. It should be like this: [tab] e|----------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------| G|4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-44-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| D|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-----------------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--| A|----------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------| [/tab] You get the idea

I think the intro is: e|--------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------| G|---8----6-----4----4-------------------4----| D|-6----4----22---22---------6------4--2------| A|------------------------44----0-2-----------| E|--------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------| G|---8----11-----6----4---------------4-------| D|-6----9-----44---22-------6----6--2---------| A|-----------------------44---44--------------| E|--------------------------------------------| but otherwise, great job mate, thanks for it!
