Key of C Major (A minor), this is a great song to practice soloing for you novices outthere who are just learning scales and stuff. This is my first tab, I'm positive it'saccurate, keep in mind though the sound will be a bit different because I think JackJohnson plays this on a Ukeleyle.Chords:C:(x32010)Em:(022000)Am:(002210)G:(320033)Strumming D=Down, U=UpD,D,U,D,U,D,UC EmI hope this old train breaks downAm GThen I could take a walk aroundC EmAnd, see what there is to seeAm GAnd time is just a melodyCAll the people in the streetEmWalk as fast as their feet can take themAm GI just roam through townCAnd though my windows got a viewEmThe frame im looking throughAm GSeems to have no concern for me nowSo for now(Chorus)C EmI, need this hereAm GOld train to breakdownC EmOh, please justAm GLet me please breakdownC EmThis engine screams out loudAm GSayin the beat gonna crawl westboundC EmSo I dont even make a soundAm GCause its gunna sting me when I leave this townCAll the people in the streetEmThat i'll never get to meetAm GIf these dont bend somehowCAnd I got no timeEmThat I got to get toAm GWhere I dont need to beSo IC EmI, need this hereAm GOld train to breakdownC EmOh, please justAm GLet me please breakdownC EmI, need this hereAm GOld train to breakdownC EmOh, please justAm GLet me please breakdownC EnI wanna break on downAm GBut I cant stop nowCBut you cant stop nothingEmIf you got no controlAmOf the thoughts in your mindGThat you kept in, you knowCYou dont know nothingEmBut you dont need to knowAmThe wisdoms in the treesGNot the glass windowsCYou cant stop wishingEmIf you dont let goAmBut things that you findGAnd you lose, and you knowCYou keep on rollingEmPut the moment on holdAmThe frames too brightGSo put the blinds down lowC EmI, need this hereAm GOld train to breakdownC EmOh, please justAm GLet me please breakdownC EmI, need this hereAm GOld train to breakdownC EmOh, please justAm GLet me please breakdownC EmI wanna break on downAm GBut I cant stop now
