Song: Main Theme
Artist: Back to the Island
Tuning: Standard
This is a tab for the full main theme of the podcast Back to the Island. These chords work for either the
regular version, or the acoustic version Chris played on episode 28, with only one minor difference in the
last line.
The solo is the same for both versions, but the regular theme is played on a saxophone while the acoustic
version is played on a harmonium.
You can listen to the full regular version here:

Or Chris' acoustic version here:

Regular theme is played with a reaggae/ska rhythm.
