Here is one of the new songs on the Jack Johnson CD: On And On.
Really cool song; no capo & standard tuning. Please, listen carefully to the intro
before saying that is it not accurate. Any corrections are welcome!

Song & Lyrics
-------------
1st Verse
---------
Riff 01
Taylor was a good girl
never one to be late
Riff 01
complain express ideas in her brain
Riff 01
Workin on the night shift
passin out the tickets
you're gonna have to pay her
Riff 01
if you want to park here.
Riff 01
Well mommy's little dancer's
quite a little secret
workin on the streets now
Riff 01
never gonna keep it.
Riff 01
It's quite an imposition
And now she's only wishin'
That she would have listened
Riff 01
To the words they said.
Poor Taylor.
Chorus
-------
Riff 01
Well she just wonders around
uneffected by
Riff 01
the winter winds, yeah
and she'll pretend that
Riff 01
well she's somewhere else
so far and clear
Riff 01 Am
about 2,000 miles from here.
2nd Verse
---------
Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window
And Sunny's silhouette won't let him in
and poor old Pete's got nothin 'cause he's been fallin'
but somehow Sunny knows just where he's been
He thinks that singin' on a Sunday's gunna save his soul
but now that Saturday's gone
Well somehow he thinks that he's on his way
but I can see, that his break lights are on
Chorus
------
And he just wonders around
uneffected by
the winter winds, yeah
and he'll pretend that
well he's somewhere else
so far and clear
about 2,000 miles from here.
3rd Verse
---------
She's such a tough enchilada
filled up with nada
givin' what she got to give to get dollar bills
she used to be a limber chick
time's a been tickin'
now she's finger lickin to the man
with the money in his pockets
flyin in his rocket
Riff 02
only stoppin by on his way to a better world
Riff 02
if Taylor finds a better world
Intro
Taylor's gunna run away
