Key of C Major (A minor), this is a great song to practice soloing for you novices out there who are just learning scales and stuff. This is my first tab, I'm positive it's accurate, keep in mind though the sound will be a bit different because I think Jack Johnson plays this on a Ukeleyle.

[Verse 1]
CEm I hope this old train breaks down AmG Then I could take a walk around CEm And, see what there is to see AmG And time is just a melody C All the people in the street Em Walk as fast as their feet can take them AmG I just roam through town C And though my windows got a view Em The frame im looking through AmG Seems to have no concern for me now
So for now
[Chorus]
CEm I, need this here AmG Old train to breakdown CEm Oh, please just AmG Let me please breakdown
[Verse 2]
CEm This engine screams out loud AmG Sayin the beat gonna crawl westbound CEm So I dont even make a sound AmG Cause its gunna sting me when I leave this town C All the people in the street Em That i'll never get to meet AmG If these dont bend somehow C And I got no time Em That I got to get to AmG Where I dont need to be
[Chorus]
So I
CEm I, need this here AmG Old train to breakdown CEm Oh, please just AmG Let me please breakdown CEm I, need this here AmG Old train to breakdown CEm Oh, please just AmG Let me please breakdown CEm I wanna break on down AmG But I cant stop now
[Verse 3]
C But you cant stop nothing Em If you got no control Am Of the thoughts in your mind G That you kept in, you know C You dont know nothing Em But you dont need to know Am The wisdoms in the trees G Not the glass windows C You cant stop wishing Em If you dont let go Am But things that you find G And you lose, and you know C You keep on rolling Em Put the moment on hold Am The frames too bright G So put the blinds down low
[Chorus]
CEm I, need this here AmG Old train to breakdown CEm Oh, please just AmG Let me please breakdown CEm I, need this here AmG Old train to breakdown CEm Oh, please just AmG Let me please breakdown CEm I wanna break on down AmG But I cant stop now
