• Song:

    Were Going To Be Friends

  • Artist:

    Jack Johnson

The other tabs on here were very good, I just wanted to add an extra bass
note in the strumming pattern that Jack uses and gives the song more drive.
Also added a 5 tone in all the G chords to make it brighter.  The picking is
a little tougher this way but very rewarding.

Lyrics + Chords Reference

D
fall is here, hear the yell
D 
back to school, ring the bell
G 
brand new shoes, walking blues
D 
climb the fence, book and pens
A               G               D 
i can tell that we are gonna be friends 

walk with me, suzy lee 
through the park, by the tree 
we will rest upon the ground 
and look at all the bugs we've found 
then safely walk to school 
without a sound 

well here we are, no one else 
we walked to school all by ourselves 
there's dirt on our uniforms 
from chasing all the ants and worms 
we clean up and now it's time to learn 


numbers, letters, learn to spell 
nouns, and books, and show and tell 
at playtime we will throw the ball 
back to class, through the hall 
teacher marks our height against the wall 

G                        D
and we don't notice any time pass
G                  D
we don't notice anything
E 
we sit side by side in every class
G 
teacher thinks that i sound funny
A
but she likes the way you sing 

tonight i'll dream while i'm in bed 
when sill thoughts go through my head 
about the bugs and alphabet 
and when i wake tomorrow i'll bet 
that you and i will walk together again 
cause i can tell that we 
are going to be friends
