Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Another tune I couldn't find on here, so have subbed how I play it,
the Drun is just a D chord played slowly down then back up,
play with it yourself, see what feels and sounds right for you.
I have probably made a pile of mistakes on this one, but if it
prompts someone else to submit a better version, everyone wins.
As always any mistukes, feck ups or otherwise are mine,
if you like it, go on, go mad RATE IT !

THE ISLAND
** CAPO 3rd FRET**
D A D A D A D A
D A D A
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
D A D A
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
D A D A
They're showing pictures on the tele-vision
D A Drun
Women and children dying in the street
G
Now we're still at it in our own place
D A Drun
Still trying to reach the future through the past, Still tryin' to
G G (TACET)
Carve tomorrow from a tombstone
A D G
But hey don't listen to me, This wasn't meant to be no sad song
A D A D
We've heard too much of that before
A G A D
Right now I only want to be here with you 'til the morning dew comes falling
G A D A D
I wanna take you to the Island, And trace your footprints in the sand
A
And in the evening when the sun goes down
G A D D
We'll make love, To the sound, Of the ocean
D A D A
They're raising banners over by the markets
D A D A
Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard wall
D A D A
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown
D A D run
The way a holy flag is gonna fall
G D A D run
Up here we sacrifice our children, To feed the,Worn out dreams of yesterday
G G (TACET)
And teach them, Dying will lead us into Glory
A D G
But hey don't listen to me, This wasn't meant to be a sad song
A D A D
We've heard too much of that before
D A G A D
Right now I only want to be here with you 'til the morning dew comes falling
G A D A D
I wanna take you to the Island, And trace your footprints in the sand
A
And in the evening when there's no-one around
G A D D
We'll make love, To the sound, Of the ocean

Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
D A D A
I know this peace and love's just copping out
D A D A
I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
D A Drun
That's just what being free is all about
G G
An' how this twisted wreckage down on Main Street
D A Drun
Will bring us all together in the end
G G G G
And we go marching down the road to freedom... Freedom
