In my version of this Jack Johnson, I use a capo instead of tuning to B, the sound
exactly alike and you can even play along to the song. :)
Capo 4th Fret
Tabbed by AlecAlmuina
Intro: C G x2
C G D
To play the intro like he does, use this tab throughout the song.

Last chord of the 1st measure gets played for 2 beats.
Each chord get 2 strokes.
(except for the last of the 1st measure) <---- If that's too confusing listen to
the song. (You'll understand (: )
Tip: Make an open position C-Chord shape,
take of your 1st finger, and use your pinky
reach high notes. (2nd measure)
Tip 2: To avoid changing positions use
fingers 2, 3, 4 to make the G-Chord
Tip 3: When playing the 3rd measure
(the part that starts with D) reach
your pinky to play the 2--4--2 on the
G-String.
After each D, you can play this.

Back when all my little goals seemed so important

Every pot of gold fill and full of distortion

Heaven was a place still in space not in motion

We went walking through the hills

Tryin’ to pretend that we both know

Maybe if we save up

We can build a little home

But then the hell storm came and yelled,

“You need to let go, you’ve got no control. No.”

This weight’s too much alone

Some days I can't hold it at all
Em G
You take it on for me

When tomorrow’s too much
