Jack Johnson – High Tide or Low Tide (Live cover)
 
*UPDATED* (like 20 times) it's FINISHED!!!
 
Amazing Bob Marley cover. I tried to complete it as much as I could. This is Jack Johnson's
part. I know it’s not 100% correct but it’s pretty close. Please leave a good rating, I worked
hard on this. Thanks!

It's actually a B flat. I learned it as A# and that's how I use it. Sorry it's not up to YOUR standards but people learn music differently. If it bothers you that much then just tab it out yourself. :)

dazzler16, I think you're looking at the C power chord upside down. That would be a Gsus but upside down it's a C. I use the other C because I think it sounds better but feel free to use whatever suits you.
