Verse 2

These canals, it seems, they all go in circles 
Places look the same, and we're the only difference 
The wind is in your hair, it's covering my view 
I'm holding on to you, on a bike we've hired until tomorrow

Verse 3

If only they could see, if only they had been here 
They would understand, how someone could have chosen 
To go the length I've gone, to spend just one day riding 
Holding on to you, I never thought it would be this clear

Cayman Islands
Kings of Convenience
Tabbed by Basso De Felice

This is the tab of the main picking of the song (I think of the nylon stringed guitar) 
and it is the same for the entire sung part. It might be played with capo at first fret.
The tab is not completely exact (I think that the chords are right but the position could
be different) but is easy to play and it sounds good.
