TAYLOR - Jack Johnson ------------------------------ Tuning: GCEA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chords: C Em Am F A|-3-| A|-2-| A|-0-| A|-0-| E|-0-| E|-3-| E|-0-| E|-1-| C|-0-| C|-4-| C|-0-| C|-0-| G|-0-| G|-0-| G|-2-| G|-2-| Each chord for the verse and chorus is played once with each strumming pattern, depending on whether it's a verse of chorus and is played in the order shown above. ------------------------------ Strumming Patterns: Verse: DUDUXUDU Chorus: DDUXUDU or DUXUDU With the verse strumming pattern, I strum with my thumb and index finger pinching together, just sounds a bit better in my opinion, it sounds a bit duller than if you strummed with your entire hand. Also with the chorus strumming pattern, it is almost the same, just got to get the rhythm right, and you can strum normally, the chorus is louder than the rest of the song. Listing to the song helps to get it right. When playing the last 8 chords, after the line; "Only stoppin by on his way to a better world". Play the C chord (DD DUD), then Em, Am and F (DUDUD DU), then the outro. ------------------------------ Intro/Outro Riff: A|-0-1h3-X-X-1h3p1---1-1--------X-X-------1-2-1-1/3-X-X-6h8p6-3-6-5-3p0-------X-X-----1-----1-----1-----X-| E|-------X-X-------3----2/1-0-1-X-X-1-2-3-----------X-X-----------------0-1-1-X-X-1h3---1h3---1h3---1---X-| C|-------X-X--------------------X-X-----------------X-X-----------------------X-X---------------------0-X-| G|-------X-X--------------------X-X-----------------X-X-----------------------X-X-----------------------X-| A|---------------0------------3-X---3-7-7-7-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-----------------------------------------------| E|-1-1\3-3-1--------------1-----X---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-----------------------------------------------| C|-----------2p0---5-5----------X---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------------------------------| G|---------------------2----2-0-X---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-----------------------------------------------| ************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | x Mute note ************ It is a tricky riff to get, you just need to practice and listen to Jack Johnson play to get the rhythm, practice always makes perfect. ------------------------------ [Intro:] [Verse 1:]
