GOODBYE - Jack Johnson

Tabbed by: Terry Long

This song was a bonus if you pre-ordered "Sleep Through The Static" on iTunes.
Tuning: Standard
Tempo: 130 bpm (swing the eighth notes)
Time Signature: 4/4
Extra or less strums may appear in the recording because of the inherent
nature that comes with just plain strumming chords. I don't feel I need to
write down exactly how this is strummed. Note: sometimes on the second
lines of the verses he changes chords half a beat early so you slightly hear
the next chord being strummed.
Also, as long as the chord position is still held down, let all notes ring.
INTRO - Bar the 3rd fret to play Eb
