Jack Johnson - Go On (CHORDS IN DESCRIPTION BOX)

Another great song off his new CD...Standard tuning. Chords as follows: E, Bm, F#m, A barre, C#m, B . HINT- Try hammering your pinky finger on/off the "G" string during the C#m and F#m chords to give it a fuller sound. Cheers!

In my rearview
I watch you watching the twilight
Behind the telephone lines
With nothing to prove, or to assume
Just thinking that your thoughts are different than mine
In my rearview
I watch you
I gave you your life, but you give me mine

I see you slowly swim away
Cause the light is leaving town
To a place that I can't be
But there's no apologies

Just go on
Just go on
There're still so many things
I wanna to say to you
But go on
Just go on
We're bound by blood that's moving
From the moment that we start
From the moment that we start

I see your perfect little eyes
Watch the shadows of the clouds
And the surface of the ocean out the window of a plane
I get nervous when I fly
I'm used to walking with my feet
Turbulence is like a sigh that I can't help but over think

What is the purpose of my life
If it doesn't ever do
With learning to let it go
Live vicariously through
You can do the same
It's the least you can do
Cause it's a lonely little chain
If you don't add to it

So go on
Just go on
There's so many things
I wanna say to you
Go on
Just go on
We're bound by blood and love
From the moment that we start
Just go on
Just go on
There're still so many things
I wanna say to you
Just go on
Just go on
We're bound by blood that's moving
From the moment that we start
From the moment that we start

great song!! does anyone know what the song means?

[bradintampa]

He wrote it about his kids and about how quickly they are growing and will one day move in their own directions. B

[ledzep2310]

what strings do you use

[bradintampa]

D'Addario medium gauge 13's.

[Windowlicker77]

Wow man nice I had to listen closely at the beginning to see if it was you or Jack, great job.

[Maati7991]

im amused, people usually do covers that are SIMILAR to how the artist plays it, but you... you do it just like jack does it, xcept for the voice obiously, but the strummin, "speed" of singing.. everythig

congratulations.

@bradintampa Hey Brad, wondering where you heard that from? Not trying to argue or anything, just really interested if jack really said he wrote it about that . . . Cause i interpreted it as it was a song for his friend Danny Riley who died of cancer and just about loved one's dying and how we live vicariously through them etc. Let me know man, good stuff with the guitar btw!

[DjRomois]

great voice man! keep it up

[homerundurby]

Dude.. your so good

[oakshroom]

[dbear33]

@erikh24 actually it's written about danny riley. jack was his best friend up until the day he died in jacks arms. danny is jack's wife kim's cousin
