Bubble Toes Tab

by Jack Johnson


Hey guys, this is just one of the tabs I've adapted from various tabs on this site.
of my tabs aren't quite right chord wise, and chords are mostly named wrong (just use the
holding I gave for the chord name written to get the sound that I intended. Play around
it a little though if ya want).  They also use lyric versions I like, not necessarily
and are arranged with maybe an extra chorus or something, different ending etc.  I
play this with another instrument without tweaking, I only play solo acoustic with them. 
I
that when played solo though, they sound pretty good.  You probably need to hear the 
to get the rhythm and stuff, use the tabs with a little flexibility, and you
be all-good.  Let Music Live! -- Peace


I play this with standard EADGBe tuning

For the intro, you pluck just the two strings that are held, copy the sound that you
from the song with mutes on some down strokes and stuff.

It's as simple as something that nobody knows that
                         
Her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes
                              
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the cards
                                              G8     
Her feet are all covered with tar balls and scars


                               
It's as common as something that nobody knows that
                         
Her beauty will follow wherever she goes
                             
Up the hill in the back of her house in the woods
                                         G8
 
She'll love me forever, I know she could


               
I remember when, you and me
           
  Mmm how we used to be
                          
Just good friends, wouldn't give me none
                                                         
  But all I wanted was some


                        
She's got a whole lot of reasons, she cant think a
                   
single one that can justify leaving
                                            
And he got none, but he thinks he got so many problems
                                           
Hes got, too much time to waste


     (set 2)          
His dreams are like commercials,
                          
an' her dreams are picture perfect,
                       
An' our dreams are so related
                                             
Though they're often underestimated


                                
It's as simple as something that nobody knows that

Her feet are infested with tar balls and


                         
La da da da da da, la da da da da da da
                                    
     
La da da da da da, la da da da da da da-ah


                              
Well I was eating lunch at the D-L-G
                                  
When this little girl came and she sat next to me
                            
I never seen nobody move the way she did
         G  (mute immediately to next chord)
Well she did and she does and she'll do it again


         
When you move like a jellyfish

Rhythm don't mean nothing
    
You go with the flow
      
You don't stop
G  (mute immediately to next chord)
Move like a jellyfish

Rhythm is nothing
    
You go with the flow
                                  
You don't stop   mmm

La da da da da da, la da da da da da da-ah


                 
If you would only listen
                                                         
   
You might just realize what you're missing, you're missing me
