The song with the lyrics goes like this:
[Intro]
Dm F Bb F
[Verse 1]
Dm F
I know she said it's alright
Bb F
But you can make it up next time
Dm F
I know she said it's not right
Bb F
There ain't no use in Lying
Dm F
Maybe she thinks I know something
Bb F
Maybe maybe she thinks it's fine
Dm F
Maybe she knows something I don't I'm so,
Bb B5 C5
I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
[Chorus]
F C5 C#5
It seems to me that maybe
Dm A
It pretty much always means no
Bb C#5 C5 F Bb C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F C
And often times we're lazy
Dm A
It seems to stand in my way
Bb B C5 F Bb C
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down
[Verse 2]
Dm F
I know she loves the sunrise
Bb F
no longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
Dm F
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Bb F
Well it might not work because of other ties
Dm F
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah,
Bb
I wouldn't want to break em
Dm F
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Bb B5 C5
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie to her
[Chorus]
F C5 C#5
It seems to me that maybe
Dm A
It pretty much always means no
Bb C#5 C5 F Bb C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F C
And often times we're lazy
Dm A
It seems to stand in my way
Bb B C5 F Bb C
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down
[Chorus]
F C5 C#5
It seems to me that maybe
Dm A
It pretty much always means no
Bb C#5 C5 F Bb C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F C
And often times we're lazy
Dm A
It seems to stand in my way
Bb B C5 F Bb C
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down

Hello all. This entire song is based on 16th notes. I show "d" for the down
stroke and "u" for the upstroke. The first note of each beat (1234) are down
strokes. The rhythm stays the same throughout the song, except for the bridge.

Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Flake
Artist: Jack Johnson
Album: Brushfire Fairytales
Tabbed by: C. Hall
Tuning: Std. E
Yes, I know the chords for the song are pretty established, in waaaaay too many versions already.
However, to get the true feel, to me, some of the bass needs to be merged in. So, this is my
interpretation of a hybrid (bass and guitar) into one tab that sounds like the right way to play
this song (with only 1 guitar). I think people attacking just the chords get 4 stars, because the
key to this song is getting the connecting/walking notes between the chords right too.
Chords: (* indicates secondary form)
Dm = x-5-7-7-6-5
F = 1-3-3-2-1-1
A# = 6-8-8-7-6-6
C = 8-10-10-9-8-8
B = 7-9-9-8-7-7
C# = 9-11-11-10-9-9
A = 5-7-7-6-5-5
C* = x-3-5-5-x-x
C#* = x-4-6-6-x-x
F* = x-8-10-10-x-x
Since the main premise for this tab is to provide details on the missing bass notes (in other
versions), I'll break down the "bass" first, then morph in the guitar with lyrics later. The
chords are listed above the tabs, so it shouldn't be hard to figure out if that is what you're
after. Transition/flare chords listed in parens () can be ignored (just keep playing preceeding
chord), double timed, strummed, or picked (as shown) - its up to you.

OUTRO:
Alright, the song completely changes here, and shouldn't really be confused with anything
happening above. Sounds like the guitars, key and tempo all change, which makes it really hard to
figure out precisely what is going on - though it is very simple portion in general. Goes
something to the effect of the following...
Chords: F#, B, C#, and A (all barres - slide through A to give it some pep)
Opens with...

You have to monkey around with that. For the second part (the "Please, Please" stuff) you can
stay on E barres and mix in A chords between F# and B chords. Just trying to demonstrate the
general feeling and to introduce variance. Some of these chords may also be minors. That's why I
just suggest 3-note chords, thus avoiding such subtleties. I don't think anyone has done a
particularly great job on the outro, but this one is at least sounds cooler to play.
Good luck! Enjoy, I hope this version is well recieved. You definitely can't ding me for lack of
effort! Please commment as I'd like it to a) make sense and b) represent this classic well.
-C.Hall (08/26/09)
Artist: Jack Johnson
Album: Brushfire Fairytales
Tabbed by: C. Hall
Tuning: Std. E
Yes, I know the chords for the song are pretty established, in waaaaay too many versions already.
However, to get the true feel, to me, some of the bass needs to be merged in. So, this is my
interpretation of a hybrid (bass and guitar) into one tab that sounds like the right way to play
this song (with only 1 guitar). I think people attacking just the chords get 4 stars, because the
key to this song is getting the connecting/walking notes between the chords right too.
Chords: (* indicates secondary form)
Dm = x-5-7-7-6-5
F = 1-3-3-2-1-1
A# = 6-8-8-7-6-6
C = 8-10-10-9-8-8
B = 7-9-9-8-7-7
C# = 9-11-11-10-9-9
A = 5-7-7-6-5-5
C* = x-3-5-5-x-x
C#* = x-4-6-6-x-x
F* = x-8-10-10-x-x
Since the main premise for this tab is to provide details on the missing bass notes (in other
versions), I'll break down the "bass" first, then morph in the guitar with lyrics later. The
chords are listed above the tabs, so it shouldn't be hard to figure out if that is what you're
after. Transition/flare chords listed in parens () can be ignored (just keep playing preceeding
chord), double timed, strummed, or picked (as shown) - its up to you.

Chorus: (see tabs above for details)
F (A# B) |C (C#) |
Seems to me that, "may-be"
Dm |A |
pretty much always means "no". So,

don't tell me that you might just let it

go.

Often times we're la-zy.
Dm |A |
It seems to stand in our way. Cuz'

OUTRO:
Alright, the song completely changes here, and shouldn't really be confused with anything
happening above. Sounds like the guitars, key and tempo all change, which makes it really hard to
figure out precisely what is going on - though it is very simple portion in general. Goes
something to the effect of the following...
Chords: F#, B, C#, and A (all barres - slide through A to give it some pep)
Opens with...
F#
e:|-------------------------|-------------------------|
B:|-------------------------|-------------------------|

D:|-4--4--x--4--4--4--x--4--|-4--4--x--4--4--4--x--4--|

E:|-2--2--x--2--2--2--x--2--|-2--2--x--2--2--2--x--2--| (x2)
| 1 . . 2 . . 3 . . 4 . . | 1 . . 2 . . 3 . . 4 . . |
Then words are song over this progression. Played all the way through 4 times. Example lyrics
with 2nd pass (the only one I can understand what he's saying).

You have to monkey around with that. For the second part (the "Please, Please" stuff) you can
stay on E barres and mix in A chords between F# and B chords. Just trying to demonstrate the
general feeling and to introduce variance. Some of these chords may also be minors. That's why I
just suggest 3-note chords, thus avoiding such subtleties. I don't think anyone has done a
particularly great job on the outro, but this one is at least sounds cooler to play.
Good luck! Enjoy, I hope this version is well recieved. You definitely can't ding me for lack of
effort! Please commment as I'd like it to a) make sense and b) represent this classic well.

lyrics
I know she said it's alright
But you can make it up next time
I know she knows it's not right
There ain't no use in lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine
Maybe she knows something I don't
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
It seems to me that maybe,
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down~~
