Title: Posters
Artist: Jack Johnson
Tabbed by: Kimball Anderson
This is my first tab. I am not really sure how to write it so good luck
understanding. I started out trying to write the rythmn in the intro and
pattern 1. After that I just Wanted to get done with it. So you can listen
to the song and figure out the rest. For questions or comments email me @

===============
Play intro (X2)
Pattern 1
Lookin at himself and wishin he was someone else because the posters on the wall
they don't a look a like him at all.
Pattern 1
So he ties it up, he tucks it in, he pulls it back and gives a grin laughin at
himself because he knows he ain't loved at all.
Pattern 2
He gets his courage from the can, it makes him feel like a man because he's lovin
all the ladies but the ladies don't love him at all.
Pattern 2
And when he's not drunk, he's only stuck on himself, and then he has the nerve to
say he needs a descent girl.
Play Pattern 1
Pattern 1
Lookin at herself and wishin she was someone else because the body of the doll it
don't a look a like her's at all.
Pattern 1
And so she straps it on, she sucks it in, she throws it up, and gives a grin
laughin at herself because she knows she ain't that at all.
Pattern 2
A caught up in the trends where the truth began to bend and the next thing you
know man there just ain't no truth left at all.
Pattern 2
Cause when the pretty girl walks, she walks so proud, and when the pretty girl
laughs oh man she laughs so loud.
Pattern 3
And if it ain't this, then it's that, as a matter of fact she hasn't had a day to relax
since she's lost her ability to think clearly.
Pattern 1
Well I'm an energetic, hypothetic version of another person, check out my outsides
there ain't nothin in here.
Pattern 1
Well I'm a superficial, systematic, music television addict, check out my outsides
there ain't nothin in here....
^- Continues straight into next with Pattern 2
and then to pattern 1
.... comes another one, just like the other one, lookin at himself but wishin he was
someone else, because the posters on the wall they don't a look a like him,
he ties it up, he tucks it in, he pulls it back and give a grin laughin at
himself because he knows he ain't loved at all... He knows he ain't loved
at all.
