Poor Taylor

Poor Taylor (also known as Bad News) Jack Johnson Tabbed by Brian Noy This song can be played with just and Amin and it sounds okay but Jack plays it to the best of my knowledge. e--0----0----0-----1-- or -8---8----5---1--| B--1----1----1-----1-- as -8---8----5---1--| G--0----0----2-----2-- barre -9---9----5---2--| D--2----2----2-----3-- chords -10--10---7---3--| A--3----2----0-----3-- -10--10---7---3--| E--------------------- -8---7----5---1--| I play it with the regular chords otherwise there's too much moving around. Those chords continue through the whole song pretty much. That awesome lick that he plays between verses goes something like what I tabbed below b=bend /=slide h=hammer p=pull off e-------------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------------------| G-------------------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------------1p0-0--------| A--3-3--1h3-1h3-1h3-----------1-1-1-1/3-3-----3-3-------| E-------------------3-1-1--1/3-------------------3-1-1--| e----------------------------------------1--| B----------------------------------------1--| G----------------------------------------2--| D---------------------3-3/5-5-5\3-2-0----3--| A-----1---1---1-1/3-3----------------3-3----| E--1h3-1h3-1h3------------------------------| After that it's real hard to figure out so instead I play a like it does near the of the song e--0---0-------0---| B--1---3---6---8---| G--0---0-------0---| D--2---4---7---9---| A--3---5---8---10--| E------------------| Lyrics: 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 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 Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window And Sunny's silhouette won't let him in And poor old Peter's got a nothin Cuz he's been fallin But somehow Taylor 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 brakelights are on When Taylor finds a better world Taylor's gonna run the world There's another version on the same demo CD that doesn't sound like much anything else on the CD. He plays the chords fairly muted throughout the song and sings the first verse ("She just wanders around...2000 miles from here") instead of playing that fancy little diddy. After "his brakelights are on" he raps out a whole other verse. Try to get this version, I noticed a lot of people on Napster had this version but they all cut off before the new verse. It goes something like this She's such a tough enchalada Filled up with nada(?) Given what she gotta give to get a dollar bill She 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 When Taylor finds a better world Taylor's going to run away
