Artist: Jack Johnson Title: "Flake" Album: Brushfire Fairytales" tabbed by Roy Uno (ryomauno@earthlink.net) I saw D.Yamaki's version of the tab. It was good, but it was somewhat confusing, so I thought I'd make it more easy to understand. Unfortunately, I don't know the slide guitar part melody for the interlude, so if anyone figures it out before me, then please e-mail me. I tried to show the strumming pattern as well as I could but, Listen to the song for the strumming pattern. The chords used: Dm F Bb C5 A Fm C#5 B5 E-----5------1---------------------5-------1-------------------| B-----6------1---------------------5-------1-------------------| G-----7------2-------3------5------6-------1------6-----4------| D-----7------3-------3------5------7-------3------6-----4------| A-----5------3-------1------3------7-------3------4-----2------| E------------1---------------------5-------1-------------------| NOTE: For the Dm chord you may use the basic chord in the first position but Jack Johnson plays it in the fifth position. The "x" is in the place where he mutes/"chops" the strings. So the song in tablature goes like this: INTRO/VERSE: Dm F Bb E--5--5-x---5---5-5---x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x--------x---------x- B--6--6-x---6---6-6---x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x--------x---------x- G--7--7-x---7---7-7---x---2--2-x---2---2-2-x---3--3-x--3--3-3-x- D--7--7-x---7---7-7---x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x---3--3-x--3--3-3-x- A--5--5-x---5---5-5---x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x---1--1-x--1--1-1-x- E--------x------------x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x--------x---------x- F C5 E-----1--1-x----1----1-1----x---------------| B-----1--1-x----1----1-1----x---------------| G-----2--2-x----2----2-2----x----5-------*--| Repeat D-----3--3-x----3----3-3----x----5-------*--| A-----3--3-x----3----3-3----x----3----------| E-----1--1-x----1----1-1----x---------------| NOTE: When going into the chorus, (the last verse line) the verse goes like this Dm F Bb E--5--5-x---5---5-5---x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x---------x---------x- B--6--6-x---6---6-6---x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x---------x---------x- G--7--7-x---7---7-7---x---2--2-x---2---2-2-x----3--3-x--3--3-3-x- D--7--7-x---7---7-7---x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x----3--3-x--3--3-3-x- A--5--5-x---5---5-5---x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x----1--1-x--1--1-1-x- E--------x------------x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x---------x---------x- C5 E----------x------------x----| B----------x------------x----| G-----5--5-x---5---5-5-x----| D-----5--5-x---5---5-5-x----| A-----3--3-x---3---3-3-x----| E----------x------------x----| CHORUS: F C5 C#5 Dm E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x----------x-----5--5-x--5--5-5-x- B--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x----------x-----6--6-x--6--6-6-x- G--2--2-x--2---2-2--x---5--5-x--5--5-5--x---6-7--7-x--7--7-7-x- D--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---5--5-x--5--5-5--x---6-7--7-x--7--7-7-x- A--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---3--3-x--3--3-3--x---4-5--5-x--5--5-5-x- E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x----------x----------x---------x- A Bb B5 C5 E--5--5-x--5---5-5--x--------x----------x-----------x----------x- B--5--5-x--5---5-5--x--------x----------x-----------x----------x- G--6--6-x--6---6-6--x---3--3-x--3--3-3--x---4--5--5-x--5--5-5--x- D--7--7-x--7---7-7--x---3--3-x--3--3-3--x---4--5--5-x--5--5-5--x- A--7--7-x--7---7-7--x---1--1-x--1--1-1--x---2--3--3-x--3--3-3--x- E--5--5-x--5---5-5--x--------x----------x-----------x----------x- F C5 E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x-----------x----| B--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x-----------x----| G--2--2-x--2---2-2--x---5--5-x--5--5-5--x----*| REPEAT D--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---5--5-x--5--5-5--x----*| A--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---3--3-x--3--3-3--x-----| E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--------x-----------x----| INTERLUDE (The backing for the slide guitar solo) Fm E----1--1-x---1----1-1----x----| B----1--1-x---1----1-1----x----| G----1--1-x---1----1-1----x---*| REPEAT D----3--3-x---3----3-3----x---*| A----3--3-x---3----3-3----x----| E----1--1-x---1----1-1----x----| Then when he starts to sing again: Fm E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x- B--1--1-x--1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x- G--1--1-x--1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x- D--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---3--3-x---3---3-3--x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x- A--3--3-x--3---3-3--x---3--3-x---3---3-3--x---3--3-x---3---3-3-x- E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x---1--1-x---1---1-1-x- C5 Fm Bb E-------x-----------x--1--1-x---1---1-1--x--------x----------x- B-------x-----------x--1--1-x---1---1-1--x--------x----------x- G--5--5-x--5---5-5-x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x---3--3-x--3---3-3-x- D--5--5-x--5---5-5-x---3--3-x---3---3-3--x---3--3-x--3---3-3-x- A--3--3-x--3---3-3-x---3--3-x---3---3-3--x---1--1-x--1---1-1-x- E-------x----------x---1--1-x---1---1-1--x--------x----------x- Fm C Fm E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x-------x-----------x--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--| B--1--1-x--1---1-1--x-------x-----------x--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--| G--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--5--5-x---5---5-5-x--1--1-x--1---1-1--x-*| D--3--3-x--3---3-3--x--5--5-x---5---5-5-x--3--3-x--3---3-3--x-*| A--3--3-x--3---3-3--x--3--3-x---3---3-3-x--3--3-x--3---3-3--x--| E--1--1-x--1---1-1--x-------x-----------x--1--1-x--1---1-1--x--| REPEAT The song with the lyrics goes like this: INTRO: Dm, F, Bb, F
