Island in the Sun - Weezer Tabbed by Adam Bishop The acoustic part of this song may be played with a capo at the 5th fret. It seems uncharacteristic of a Weezer song to be played with a capo, but I tried it that way and it sounded even better than the open chords. If you play it like that, the acoustic chord shapes are Bm, Em, A, D. The D (that is, the G) doesn't sound right though, so I just assumed that the acoustic chords were all open chords.
