Cookie Jar - Jack Johnson.
tab - Rhett S (rhette28@yahoo.com)

Great song.

3 chords, in a 1,2,3,2 pattern.  In the album version,
I don't think I hear jack play the high E string at all.
But, that's your call.

F#m (2 4 4 2 2 2)
C#m (4 6 6 5 4 4)
B   (x 2 4 4 4 2)

flow goes,  F#m , C#m, B, C#m

sometimes, Jack plays this, but it's dubbed over the 
chords.

F#m    C#m
   And I would turn on the TV,
B     C#m
   but its so embarassing.

(and excetra...)

to see all the other people -
I don't know what they mean.
and it was magic at first,
when they spoke without sound.
but now this worlds gonna hurt 
you better turn that thing down-
turn it around.

well it wasn't me says the boy with the gun,
"sure i pulled the trigger but it needed to be done,
because life's been killin' me ever since it begun,
you can't blame me cause I'm too young."

"well you can't blame me,
sure the killer was my son
but I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
it's the killing on the tv screen
you can't blame me
it's those images he sees."

"well you can't blame me says the media man
well I wasn't the one who came up with the plan
and I just point my camera at what the people wanna see
man it's a two way mirror and you can't blame me."

"you can't blame me says the singer of the song
and the maker of the movie which he based his life on.
it's only entertainment as anyone can see
its smoke machines and makeup man
you can't fool me."

it was you, it was me, it was every man.
we've all got the blood on our hands.
we only receive what we demand,
if we want hell then hell is what we'll have.

And I would turn on the TV
but it's so embarassing.
to see all the other people
i don't know what they mean.
and it was magic at first
when they spoke without sound,
but now this worlds gonna hurt,
you better turn it around
-turn it around.

Thanks man, perfect tab! Another way to play the exact same thing (and make this way easier on the fingers) is to put a capo on the 2nd fret and play Em-Bm-A-Bm. This makes it easier for me, thank for the tab :)

good tab except the C#m is wrong. it should be fingered like this: 4*4*6*6*5*4 low to high.
