Lyrics
G
Saturday morning and it's time to go
G
One day these could be the days but who could have known
D7
Loading in the back of a pickup truck
D7
Riding with the boys and pushing the luck
G
Singing songs loud on the way to the game
G
Wishing all the things could still be the same
D7
Chinese homeruns over the backstop
D7
Kakua on the ball and soda pop well...
[Chorus]
B A
We used to laugh a lot
C
But only because we thought
G D7 G
That everything good always would remain
G D7 G
Nothing's gonna change there's no need to complain
G
Sunday morning and it's time to go
G
Been raining all night so everybody knows
D7
Over to the field for tackle football
D7
Big hits, big hats, yeah give me the ball
G
Rain is pouring, touchdown scoring
G
Keep on rolling, never boring
D7
Karma, karma, karma chameleon
D7
We're talking kinda funny from helium
[Chorus]
G
Monday morning and it's time to go
G
Wet trunks and schoolbooks and sand on my toes
D7
Do anything you can to dodge the bus-stop blues
D7
Like driving a padiddle with a burnt-out fuse
G
My best friend Kimi wants to go with you
G
So meet her by the sugar mill after school
D7
My best friend Kimi wants to go with you
D7
Meet her by the sugar mill after school
[Chorus] x 2
Tabbed by Some Idiot (no, that is not my real name, but a pretty fitting nick nevertheless)

The "B" chord is actually an "Em" chord (just mislabled). And the "D7" is wrong IMO. Jack could have played it like that somewhere else... but, on the live shows I have... he plays it like the other Mudfootball tab here (i hope this cuts and pastes right)... if not the D* chord (although... it could be more of a C* chord... but, I'm like him... I don't know this chord).
D* (ebgdae 5354xx)
G D* Em A C
E ---3-----5-----7-----5-----8-----
B ---3-----3-----8-----5-----8-----
G ---4-----5-----9-----6-----9-----
D---5-----4-----9-----7-----10----
A ---5-----X-----7-----7-----10----
E ---3-----X-----7-----5-----8-----
I don't have any live shows to watch but I've got a good ear and I say you're both half right. The "D*" shown by layne is used in the verse and the "D7" shown in the tab/lyric above is used in the chorus.
G(E|3) D7(A7|5) Em(Am|7) A(E|5) C(E|8) D*(???)
E ---3------5--------7--------5-------8-------5----
B ---3------7--------8--------5-------8-------3----
G ---4------5--------9--------6-------9-------5----
D ---5------7--------9--------7-------10------3(4)-
A ---5------5--------7--------7-------10------x----
E ---3------5(x)-----5(x)-----5-------8-------x----
Note: (E|3) above denotes a major E chord barred on the 3rd fret. I’ve been able to simplify most songs into variations of A and E along the barre scale. Looks like most of Jack Johnson’s songs follow this structure—except for our mystery chord in the chorus. I’m struggling with barre chords, but trying to learn them correctly. Based on the tabs presented, I agree with Layne that the B is really an Em. Can someone test my tabs above and tell me if it is correct to not play the E strings in D7 and Em (since they are built of the ‘A Form’ bars) and that it sounds basically the same to play the mystery D* with the bar still on the 3rd fret, since we’ve just come out of a G chord? There’s no friggin way I’m getting off the barred G and getting all 4 fingers on the D* as Layne suggests.
Progressions:
Verses = G, G, D7, D7 (2x)
Chorus = Em, A, C, C, G, D7, G, G, D7, G
Alt. Chorus = replace D7 with D*
(Hope the tabs work! Format and play)
