Jack Johnson
Tabbed by Brian Noy
The intro kind of goes like this. I know it’s missing a few notes but if
you play this with the right rythm, anyone who knows the song will reconize it.
e——————– I’ve ——————————|
B——————– heard ——————————|
G——————– him do ——9–11—–13–9–11—–|
D——————– it live –11–9–11–9–13–9–11–9–|
A–4-7-9-2-11-7-9-7– like –11–7–9—9–11–7–9—9–|
E——————– this–> –9———-7————-7–|
The verses mainly go Dm, G#, F# on the Brushfire Fairytales CD. In his acoustic
version he plays a G7 real quick before switching to F#
Drink the water…Spit it…I didn’t want this
Dm G# G7 F#
e—4—————-4—–3—2———–|
B—5—————-4—–3—2———–|
G—6—————-5—–4—3———–|
D—6—————-6—–3—4———–|
A—4—————-6—–5—4———–|
E—4—————-4—–3—3———–|
The chorus is played E, G#, Dm two times through and then goes into the intro
again. On an acoustic version he plays G# and A after the chorus
To time to swim a shore
E G# Dm repeat G# A G#
e—0———-4——4——–|—-4–5–4-|
B—0———-4——5——–|—-4–5–4-|
G—1———-5——6——–|—-5–6–5-|
D—2———-6——6——–|—-6–7–6-|
A—2———-6——4——–|—-6–7–6-|
E—0———-4——4——–|—-4–5–4-|
The rest of the song follows those same chord progressions
