Song: The Islander Artist: Nightwish Album: Dark Passion Play Tuning: Standard I looked at all the other tabs of this song, and I felt that there was always something with the intros. I found out the other tabs just had part of it. There are two guitars of just one, as well as in the verses. So, here's my tab: I transcribed as much as I This is one of my favorite songs in the world, and I hope this will help. Thanks to Roses for the Chords in the Verse and Chorus. Notes: this might all not be 100 percent correct, but a lot of it's hard to hear. And strumming patterns are what I use. It sounds right to me. Key --- - = Palm Mute b = Bend h = hammer on p = pull of / = slide up \ = slide down v = vibrato ~ = hold note x = mute note Intro Wood Flute
