The Island Of Childrens Children by Mum
The Island Of Childrens Children
DADGAD tuning CAPO 2nd fret
This is 'The Island Of Children's Children' arranged for solo guitar. I arranged it in
tuning which makes it easier to play the bass line along withmaking the higher melodies
nice over the top.

As for the lyrics i'm not totally sure what they are, but here's my stab at guessing them:
Swim to shore
We two
Pack the kids
We who
Blue Soft Wave
Too dry
Scream and shout
Go hide
Sin for you who they, will find your way
While go way nice and, dark come back
Home
+
With you, who falls, we who, so small,
Can I please try, make it good again
