Poor Taylor by Jack Johnson Tabbed by Freddie Wong (l33thax0rd00d@yahoo.com) Edited by Reed Gallogly Chord Progression: C, C\B, Amin, F He plays with a fast down/up strumming pattern using his fingernails to achieve the effect. Several ways to do this: e--------------------55555xxx-11111xxx B--55555xxx-55555xxx-55555xxx-11111xxx-- G--55555xxx-55555xxx-55555xxx-22222xxx-- D--55555xxx-55555xxx-77777xxx-33333xxx-- A--33333xxx-22222xxx-77777xxx-33333xxx-- E--------------------55555xxx-11111xxx-- Or: e--------------------------------------- B--11111xxx-11111xxx-11111xxx----------- G--00000xxx-00000xxx-22222xxx-22222xxx-- D--22222xxx-22222xxx-22222xxx-33333xxx-- A--33333xxx-22222xxx-00000xxx-33333xxx-- E-----------------------------11111xxx-- I think the top one sounds more like the way he plays it. He also doesn't always hit the higher strings, so focus on the lower ones. Ending: Ok, here is the definitive version of this fucking lick. Go ahead, its the right one. e|-------------------------------X-----------------------------------------X---| B|------X------------------------X-----------------X-----------------------X---| G|------X------------------------X-----------------X-----------------------X---| D|------X------------------------X-----------------X-1h3p1----3p1----------X---| A|-1h3-----1h3p1---1--1h3p1------X------1-2---2/3----------3-----3p1-------X---| E|---------------3----------3-1------123-----------------------------0-1-1-----| e|----------------------------------------------------------------0--| B|-----------------------------------------------------4--4-4-----1--| G|-----------------------------------------------------2--2-2-----0--| D|-------------------------3-3/5-5-3--2p0--------------3--3-3---2----| A|----1---1---1---1---3------------------3p0-----------3--3-3-3------| E|-1h3-1h3-1h3-1h3----------------------------1-1--------------------| e|---0---0---0-----------1-----| B|--/5-5-3-3-1-1---------1-----| G|---0---0---0---5p3p0---2-----| D|---------------------3-3-----| A|-----------------------------| E|-----------------------------| Lyrics: The say Taylor was a good girl Never one to be late Complain express ideas in her brain Working on the night shift Passing out the tickets You're going to have to pay her If you want to park here Well Mommy's little dancer's Quite a little secret She's working on the streets now Never going to keep it It's quite an imposition And now she's only wishin' That she would have listened To the words they said Poor Taylor She just wanders around Unaffected by the winter winds air She pretends that she's somewhere else So far and clear 2000 miles from here Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window And Sunny's silhouette won't let him in And poor old Pete's got nothing Cuz he's been falling But somehow Sunny knows Just where he's been He thinks that singing on Sunday's gonna save his soul Now that Saturday's gone And sometimes he thinks that he's on his way but I can see that his brake lights are on He just wanders around Unaffected by the winter winds air And he'll pretend that he's somewhere else So far and clear bout 2000 miles from here When Taylor finds a better world Taylor's gonna run the world She's such a tough enchilada Filled up with nada Given what she gotta give to get a dollar bill used to be limber chicken Time has been a ticken Now she's finger licken to the man with the money in his pocket Flying in his rocket Only stopping by on his way to a better world e-(0)----------------------------------------------------- B--1--1-1--1-1-/-3--3-3--3-3-/-6--6-6--6-6-/-8--8-8--8-8-- G--0--0-0--0-0-/-0--0-0--0-0-/-0--0-0--0-0-/-0--0-0--0-0-- D--2--2-2--2-2-/-4--4-4--4-4-/-7--7-7--7-7-/-9--9-9--9-9-- A--3--3-3--3-3-/-5--5-5--5-5-/-8--8-8--8-8-/-10-1010-1010- E--------------------------------------------------------- If Taylor finds a better world Then Taylor's going to run away (end with intro lick) The old version I used to have for poor taylor is below, the above one is better if you ask me about it. ******************************************************************* This song can be played with just C and Amin and it sounds okay but Jack plays it C, C\B, Amin, F to the best of my knowledge.
