Jack Johnson-I Got You (Single)

This single was published today (09.06.2013). His website (
http://www.jackjohnsonmusic.com/welcome/) announced that his new album
"From Here To Now To You" will be coming out on September 17th. It will
be the first album since "To The Sea" (2010).
I really look forward to get this record. To shorten
the waiting time, listen his albums and play this song! Hope you like it! :)


Tuning: E-A-D-G-B-E

Chords: E MajorE   7/7/9/9/9/7
     BB   7/9/9/8/7/7
     F#F#  2/4/4/3/2/2/
     B/D#B/D# X/6/9/8/7/6

Intro: E MajorE  -   BB
    E MajorE  -   BB
    E MajorE  -   BB
    F#- B/D#B/D# - F#F#

That's the easy way to play it.
If you play the song alone, you can pick the cords like that and
whistle the melody,
because than it sounds nicer:

Or the version Jack plays (including some bass tones I didn't fix but they belong to the
chords so it's no problem to play them):

Verse 1:

     E MajorE             BB
Back when all my little goals seemed so important

E MajorE             BB
Every pot of gold fill and full of distortion

E MajorE              BB
Heaven was a place still in space not in motion

  F#F#
But soon

Refrain:

   E MajorE
I got you

I got everything

     E MajorE
I've got you

I don't need nothing

More than you

Verse 2:

    E MajorE
We went walking through the hills

     BB
Tryin' to pretend that we both know

E MajorE
Maybe if we save up

    BB
We can build a little home

  E MajorE
But then the hell storm came and yelled,

 BB                 F#F#
"You need to let go, you've got no control. No."

3.Verse: (Same chords with some variations, but play it like you want to)

   E MajorE         BB
This weight's too much alone

   E MajorE      BB
Some days I can't hold it at all

  E MajorE       BB
You take it on for me

    E MajorE
When tomorrow's too much

   F#F#
I'll carry it all

    Fill-In 2 x2
I've got you
