Jack Johnson- Holes to heaven
Tabbed by James K




Main Riff: It sounds like it is played muted but you can play it hoow you want.

e|--------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------|
A|-------------0---------------------0--------|
E|-0-3-3-3-2-0---3-2-0---0-3-3-3-2-0---3-2-0--|



Verse: Carry on the main riff.

The air was more than human 
and the heat was more than hungry 
and the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes

When he says "fumes" he plays an Em Chord on the 7th Fret looking like this:

e|----|
b|----|
g|-9--|
d|-9--|
a|-7--|
E|----|


I think this chord is played through the next verse. If you do play it, it is played muted.


Boars were running wild because
there big and mean and sacred
and the children were playing cricket with no shoes

(On the word "shoes" emphasise the Em Chord)






Pre-Chorus:

the chords are:

    A    C

e|----------|
b|----------|
g|-------5--|
d|--7----5--|
a|--7----3--|
E|--5-------|


         A
The next morning we woke up man
to a seven hour drive
         C   
and there we were stuck in Port Blair
where boats break and children stare


Chorus:

The chords for the chorus are:

    G   D9  Em  D9  C   A

e|---------------------------|
b|---------------------------|
g|------7-------7---5--------|
d|--5---7---2---7---5---7----|
a|--5---5---2---5---3---7----|
E|--3-------0-----------5----|


          G                               D9
And there were so many fewer questions 
           Em                    D9                       C       A      Play Chorus x2
when stars were still just the holes to heaven hmmm....

Verse:


Disembarking from the port 
with no mistakes of any sort
moving south the engine running smooth

(On the word "smooth play" an Em Chord)


Officials were quite friendly once we
drowned them with out sweet talk
and bribed them with out cigarrettes and booze

(On the word "booze" play an Em Chord on 7th fret)
          
          A
The next morning we woke up man 
with the sunrise to the right 
C
moving back to Port Blair
Were boats break and children stare


Chorus:

          G                               D9
And there were so many fewer questions
           Em                    D9                         C        A    Play Chorus x2
when stars were still just the holes to heaven hm....

Then play the main riff, then it fades away...............
