Drink The Water Chords & Tabs
Drink The Water
Jack Johnson
Tabbed by Brian Noy
The intro kind of goes like this. I know it's missing a few notes but if
you play this with the right rythm, anyone who knows the song will reconize it.
e-------------------- I've ------------------------------
B-------------------- heard ------------------------------
G-------------------- him do ------9--11-----13--9--11-----
D-------------------- it live --11--9--11--9--13--9--11--9--
A--4-7-9-2-11-7-9-7-- like --11--7--9---9--11--7--9---9--
E-------------------- this--> --9----------7-------------7--
The verses mainly go Dm, G#, F# on the Brushfire Fairytales CD. In his acoustic
version he plays a G7 real quick before switching to F#
