I Was An Island by Allison Weiss
Tabbed By Titanium Drew
Capo 5th Fret
Simple song with all of four chords basically. The chord marked "G2" on here is just a pretty
common transitional G Maj (half step down on low E string and A string opened, like this):
G G2
-3- -3-|
-3- -3-|
-0- -0-|
-0- -0-|
-2- -0-|
-3- -2-|
The strumming is pretty easy to pick up from the song and there are only a couple strum patterns
throughout. There is a nice little instrumental solo in the middle and she did an
version
on what I think was her first youtube video of this song. It is basically just a few
using
the chord shapes themselves. Look it up on youtube, it should be the first result if
seach for
this song. It is a nice addition to a easy, pretty song. Enjoy -TD
