On an Island - David Gilmour ============================ Tabbed by: Gareth J. Hill (bujin) Email: bujin1977@hotmail.com Date: 18th May 2006 Notes: * There are several versions of this tab available already, but I'm yet to see one that mimics the way Gilmour actually plays. The notes may be technically accurate in the other versions, but I personally find it easier to play it this way. (I hope this doesn't sound like I'm knocking the other - they're very good!) * I am by no means a good guitarist! There may well be a few mistakes in this tab, and I apologise if I do not know the technical names for some of the musical stuff!!! * Contains no indications of timing - you will have to listen to the song to try to work it out I'm afraid!

Key: ---- b = bend up r = release bend h = hammer on p = pull off (NN) before a bend = pre-bend from this fret. (NN) after a bend = play the note still bent rather than move to actual fret. / = slide up \ = slide down
