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
