Royal Wood - The Island
tabbed by Dave
Intro: D G A G x4
D G A G
I spent my life so patient
D G A G
Waiting for the descent
D G A G
The gift to bring me water
D G A G
The drought that ends thereafter
D G A G
I tread my foot most lightly
D G A G
Past the day left nightly
D G A G
And striving to be honest
D G A G
But hopeless without ballast
Bm A G D
For the light did sweep across the sea
Em D/F# G A
You were the keeper of the key
Bm A G D
And the holder of my destiny
Em D/F# G A
A thousand poems for the sight I've seen
D Em D/F# G
I've found myself the island
D G A G
A tree will bend and offer
D G A G
The branch to give the altar
D G A G
My promise will not falter
D G A G
To you my dearest lover
Bm A G D
For the light did sweep across the sea
Em D/F# G A
You were the keeper of the key
Bm A G D
And the holder of my destiny
Em D/F# G A
A thousand poems for the sight I've seen
D Em D/F# G
I've found myself the island
Dm C Bb Dm C G Dm C Bb Dm C G Dm
C Bb Dm
And now we lay
C G Dm
Down the day
C Bb Dm
In this we're safe
C G
We know the way
Where we're going
Bm A G D
For the light did sweep across the sea
Em D/F# G A
