verse
try playing the chords in different positions
if you think it'll sound better.
[Em]
e:-----------------------------------------------| B:--8--8----8----8--8----8-----8--8----8---------| G:--9--9----9----9--9----9-----9--9----9---------| D:--9--9----9----9--9----9-----9--9----9---------| A:-----------------------------------------------| E:-----------------------------------------------|
Play that a few times then it changes to
[D] [C] [Em]
e:--------------------------------------------------------| B:--10--10---10-----8---8------8-----8--8---8----8--8---8-| G:--11--11---11-----9---9------9-----9--9---9----9--9---9-| D:--12--12---12-----10--10-----10----9--9---9----9--9---9-| A:--------------------------------------------------------| E:--------------------------------------------------------|
[D] [C] [Em]
e:-----------------------------------------------| B:--10--10---10-----8---8----8-----8--8----------| G:--11--11---11-----9---9----9-----9--9----------| D:--12--12---12-----10--10---10----9--9----------| A:-----------------------------------------------| E:-----------------------------------------------|
and then the lead in to the chorus
[D] [C] [Bm] [A] [Bm] [Em]
e:-----------------------------------------------| B:--10---8----7---5---7---8----------------------| G:--11---9----7---6---7---9----------------------| D:--12---10---9---7---9---9----------------------| A:-----------------------------------------------| E:-----------------------------------------------|
Chorus riffs
I'm pretty sure the notes are correct although they may be
played in a different octave, so play the same notes higher up the
neck if you don't think it sounds better.
e:----------------------------------------------------------| B:----------------------------------------------------------| G:-----4--2--0-----0-----------4--2--0----0---------0-------| D:--7-----------2------2----/7-----------2----2--0h2----2h5-| A:----------------------------------------------------------| E:----------------------------------------------------------| e:----------------------------------------------------------| B:------------------------------3~--------------------------| G:----4--2--0-------0-------2/4---2h4p2---2h4p2---2p0-------| D:-/7-----------2-------2---------------2-------2-----2-0---| A:--------------------------------------------------------2-| E:----------------------------------------------------------| e:----------------------------------------------------| B:-3-----------------------3--------------------------| G:---4-2-0------2--0----------4-2-0--------2--0-------| X 2 D:---------2-0-------2--0------------2--0--------(2/)-| A:----------------------------------------------------| E:----------------------------------------------------|
That last bit is played twice with the bracketed note only
played on the second time.
Solo
e:----------------------------------------------| B:----------------------------------------------| G:-/9b~..............r-7--9\---/9b~...........r-| D:----------------------------------------------| A:----------------------------------------------| E:----------------------------------------------| e:---------------------------------------------| B:-----8----8h10p8-----8-----------------------| G:-7h9---9----------9-----9p7-----7------------| D:-----------------------------9------9p7------| A:-----------------------------------------10\-| E:---------------------------------------------| e:-----------------------------------------| B:-----------------------------------------| G:-9b..r-----------------------------------| D:--------7--9-9b..r---9---7-7--7----------| A:--------------------------------10----7\-| E:-----------------------------------------| e:-----------------------------------------| B:-------------------------------8\--------| G:-9b..r-------------------------9\--------| D:--------7--9-9b..r--7----------9\--------| A:-----------------------7-7--7------------| E:-----------------------------------------|
Solo probably isn't exact but just mess around in Em
anyway.
Hope you enjoy it, check out the other Beautiful Girls songs, if u like Jack Johnson,
like these Aussie guys for sure.
