The Upsetter Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson - The Upsetter
I haven't seen any tabs of this song, so here's a few various parts
and some chords to get people started. I'm sure someone will create a
better tab soon, but at least this is something to work with in the
meantime. I think the song is in the key of C.
During the solo I think there are 2 guitars, likely dubbed in the
studio. The song is mostly piano with Jack playing electric guitar
riffs. Feel free to comment or work this into a more complete tab.

VESRE 3
Some will say
this place is gone
These roads are steep
And much too long
These plans are cheap
My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden

My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden
