I Got You Tab

Jack Johnson-I Got You (Single)
 
Tuning: E-A-D-G-B-E
 
Chords:  E     7/7/9/9/9/7
         B     7/9/9/8/7/7
         F#    2/4/4/3/2/2/
         B/D#  X/6/9/8/7/6
 
 
[Intro]
 
E    -     B
E    -     B
E    -     B
F#- B/D# - 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:
 
    E                      B           E                   B
 
e|--7-------------------|-----------|--7----------------|------------------|
B|---------9------------|--7--------|--------9----------|--7---------------|
G|----9------9----8-----|----8------|----9-----9----8---|----9--8----------|
D|-----9------9-----9---|-----9-----|-----9-----9-----9-|------------------|
A|--7-----(7)----(7)----|------9----|--7----(7)----(7)--|------------------|
E|----------------------|--7--------|-------------------|--7----7----------|
 
    E                      B                  F#     B/D#        F#
e|--7-------------------|----------------|--2------------------|--2--------|
B|---------9------------|--7------7-\-4--|--2---------7--------|---2-------|
G|----9------9----8-----|----8-----------|--3----------8-------|-----------|
D|-----9------9-----9---|-----9----------|--4------------------|-----------|
A|--7-----(7)----(7)----|------9---------|--4--4--4/6-----6\4--|-----------|
E|----------------------|--7-------------|--2------------------|-----------|
 
 
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):
 
    E         B          E            B                  E         B

D|---------|----------|-------------|-----------------|---------|----------|
A|--7~~~~~~|----------|--7~~~~~~7~~~|-----------------|--7~~~~~~|----------|
E|---------|--7~~~~~~~|-------------|--7~~~~~~~~~~----|---------|--7~~~~~~~|
 
         F#          B/D#         F#

[Verse 1]
 
          E                          B
Back when all my little goals seemed so important
 
E                          B
Every pot of gold fill and full of distortion
 
E                           B
Heaven was a place still in space not in motion
 
    F#
But soon

[Verse 2]
 
        E
We went walking through the hills
 
          B
Tryin' to pretend that we both know
 
E
Maybe if we save up
 
       B
We can build a little home
 
    E
But then the hell storm came and yelled,
 
 B                                  F#
"You need to let go, you've got no control. No."

[Verse 3]
(Same chords with some variations, but play it like you want to)
 
     E                  B
This weight's too much alone
 
     E            B
Some days I can't hold it at all
 
    E              B
You take it on for me
 
       E
When tomorrow's too much
 
     F#
I'll carry it all
 
       Fill-In 2 x2
I've got you
