Artist: Jack Johnson
  Song: Poor Taylor
 Album: On and On
  Type: Guitar Tablature

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.

Jack Johnson plays with his E string down a 1/4 step so if you want to go exactly with the recording, tune down 50 cents

Also when going through the lyrics and playing the c, c/b, aminor, f. Make sure you just go about four strums on each and keep going the same pace throughout the song and modify the timing on the words not the chord strumming. Once you get it you will be playing and singing this song like a pro!

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 winters air
she'll pretend that
shes somewhere else
so far and clear
about 2000 miles from here

Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window,
And Sunny's silhouette won't let him in
And poor old Petes got a nothin
Cuz he's been fallin But somehow Taylor knows
Just where he's been
He thinks that singing on Sunday 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

He just wanders around
unnaffected by the winters air
he'll pretend that
hes somewhere else
so far and clear
about 2000 miles from here

She's such a tough enchalada
Filled up with nada
Given what she gotta give to get a dollar bill

used to be a 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

(after high G chord)
When Taylor finds a better world
"
Taylor's going to run away
