Jack Johnson-I Got You (Single)
This single was published today (09.06.2013). His website (
http://www.jackjohnsonmusic.com/welcome/ ) announced that his new album
"From Here To Now To You" will be coming out on September 17th. It will
be the first album since "To The Sea" (2010).
I really look forward to get this record. To shorten
the waiting time, listen his albums and play this song! Hope you like it! :)
Tuning: E-A-D-G-B-E
Chords: E 7/7/9/9/9/7
B 7/9/9/8/7/7
F# 2/4/4/3/2/2/
B/D# X/6/9/8/7/6
Intro: E - B
E - B
E - B
F#- B/D# - F#
That's the easy way to play it.
If you play the song alone, you can pick the cords like that and
whistle the melody,
because than it sounds nicer:
E B E B

G|----9------9----8-----|----8------|----9-----9----8---|----9--8----------|

A|--7-----(7)----(7)----|------9---------|--4--4--4/6-----6\4--|-----------|
E|----------------------|--7-------------|--2------------------|-----------|
Or the version Jack plays (including some bass tones I didn't fix but they belong to the
chords so it's no problem to play them):

Back when all my little goals seemed so important

Every pot of gold fill and full of distortion
E B
Heaven was a place still in space not in motion
F#
But soon
