Drink The Water
Jack Johnson
Tabbed by Brian Noy

The intro kind of goes like this. I know it's missing a few notes but if
you play this with the right rythm, anyone who knows the song will reconize it.

e-------------------- I've    ------------------------------
B-------------------- heard   ------------------------------
G-------------------- him do  ------9--11-----13--9--11-----
D-------------------- it live --11--9--11--9--13--9--11--9--
A--4-7-9-2-11-7-9-7-- like    --11--7--9---9--11--7--9---9--
E-------------------- this--> --9----------7-------------7--

The verses mainly go Dm, G#, F# on the Brushfire Fairytales CD. In his acoustic
version he plays a G7 real quick before switching to F#

   Drink the water...Spit it...I didn't want this
   Dm                G#    G7  F#
e---4----------------4-----3---2-----------
B---5----------------4-----3---2-----------
G---6----------------5-----4---3-----------
D---6----------------6-----3---4-----------
A---4----------------6-----5---4-----------
E---4----------------4-----3---3-----------

The chorus is played E, G#, Dm two times through and then goes into the intro
again. On an acoustic version he plays G# and A after the chorus

    To time to swim a shore
    E          G#     Dm    repeat  G# A  G#
e---0----------4------4--------|----4--5--4-
B---0----------4------5--------|----4--5--4-
G---1----------5------6--------|----5--6--5-
D---2----------6------6--------|----6--7--6-
A---2----------6------4--------|----6--7--6-
E---0----------4------4--------|----4--5--4-

The rest of the song follows those same chord progressions

The first chords in the song (with the slides) are all octaves, you can tell by listening to the album version of the song quite easily. An octave is when you play just two root notes in a chord (e.g. D and the D an octave up). So in this song he starts with 9X11XXX, then plays X7X9XX and slides up to X9X11XX and so forth. Quite possibly the whole song is in octaves but I can't decide!!
