                               NIGHTWISH
                              THE ISLANDER

Tuning: E A D G B E (Standard)

Hey guys, it's James, thought I'd post this as it's a great song by an awesome band and
havent really seen any full versions of it on here, so enjoy! (I tabbed this out by ear
I think it sounds pretty accurate but any corrections or constructive critisism will be welcomed)

Intro:
E|--------------|-------------|--------------|-------------|
B|-0-2-3-2------|-------------|-0-2-3-2------|-------------|
G|--------4-2-4-|-------------|--------4-2-4-|-------------|
D|-------------4|-0-2-0-0-----|-------------4|-0-2-0-0-----|
A|--------------|------2-4-0-0|--------------|------2-4-0-2|
E|--------------|-------------|--------------|-------------|

Verse:
(Listen to the song and figure out the strumming pattern)

Dsus2     Cmaj9     Bmaj     Cmaj
E|---     E|---     E|---    E|---|
B|-3-     B|-3-     B|-3-    B|-1-|
G|-2-     G|---     G|-3-    G|---|
D|---     D|-2-     D|-3-    D|-2-|
A|---     A|-3-     A|-1-    A|-3-|
E|---     E|---     E|---    E|---|

Chorus:
(Listen to when the strums are)

Gmaj     Dmaj     Amaj     Em
E|-3-    E|-2-    E|---    E|---|
B|-3-    B|-3-    B|-2-    B|---|
G|---    G|-2-    G|-2-    G|---|
D|---    D|---    D|-2-    D|-2-|
A|-2-    A|---    A|---    A|-2-|
E|-3-    E|---    E|---    E|---|

And that's basically it, for the outro, keep strumming the Dsus2 and fade out.
