Posters — Jack Johnson
Chords and lyrics for Posters by Jack Johnson (key of D).
Verse 1
leave the 6th string open. Use UG to
transpose down two half-steps to D. When you do that a lot of D/D chords
will appear. Play those with the
sixth string open. If you play each bass note and then strum the chord you
will get that Jack Johnson feel.
