No Other Way Chords & Tabs
Jack Johnson – no other way
I think correct because I have played it right along with the song. I may have made the
a little confusing. I am sorry, this is my first tab, but if you listen to the song
not that difficult and you can pick out the individual parts and it makes sense and I
put the order of the parts at the bottom. Please rate this so others will read it and if
are problems you find please email me so I can fix them.
