I took sarson’s submission from tTabs and spiffed it up a bit lyrically, and tab-wise. Please let me know if you think there are any corrections needed. Thanks, Matt.

Note: as with the majority of jack johnson’s songs, you will need to be handy with the barre chord for this song. I learned how to play barre chords by playing jack, so if you can’t get this to sound just like him keep working at it and your hand will learn. Also be sure to play nice and casual/relaxed style like he does if you can – it makes all the difference.

"Yeah..."
