Chord/Tab song: I Got You

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 7/7/9/9/9/7
B 7/9/9/8/7/7
[F#]B/D# [2/4/4/3/2/2/]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]

Verse 1:

Back when [E]all my little goals seemed [B]so important

[E]Every pot of gold fill and [B]full of distortion

[E]Heaven was a place still in [B]space not in motion

But [F#]soon

Verse 2:

We went [E]walking through the hills

Tryin' to [B]pretend that we both know

"[B]You need to let go, you've got no c[F#]ontrol. No."

This [E]weight's too much a[B]lone

Some [E]days I can't [B]hold it at all

You [E]take it on for [B]me

When to[E]morrow's too much

I'll [F#]carry it all

Fill-In 2 x2
I've got you
