F-Stop Blues by Jack Johnson
F-Stop Blues
[Verse]
E B
Hermit crabs and cowry shells
A
Crush beneath his feet as he comes towards you
E B A
He's waving at you
E B
Lift him up to see what you can see
A
He begins his focusing
E B A
He's aiming at you
E B
And now he has cutaways from memories
A
And close-ups of anything that
E B
He has seen or even dreamed
A
And now he's finished focusing
E B
He's imagining lightning
A
Striking sea sickness
E B A
Away from here
[Chorus]
E G# A B
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted
E G# A B
How many years and you've barely even tasted
E G#
Anything remotely close to
A B
Everything you've boasted about
E G# A B
Look who's crying now
[Verse]
E B
Driftwood floats, after years of erosion
A
Incoming tide touches roots to expose them,
E B
Quicksand steals my shoe,
A
Clouds bring the f-stop blues
(Chorus again, as above)
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted
How many years and you've barely even tasted
Anything remotely close to
Everything you've boasted about
Look who's crying now

version 4
listen to it to figure out the rythm.
I think the basic chords are E5, G#5, A5, B5. he does some slide
thing. Slide up on every new chord. He mixes in some variations
of that pattern too.I don't know how it's exactly played.

And close-ups of anything that

How many years and you've barely even tasted

Hermit crabs and cowry shells
Crush beneath his feet as he comes towards you
He's waving at you
Lift him up to see what you can see
He begins his focusing
He's aiming at you
And now he has cutaways from memories
And close-ups of anything that
He has seen or even dreamed
And now he's finished focusing
He's imagining lightning
Striking sea sickness
Away from here
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted
How many years and you've barely even tasted
Anything remotely close to
Everything you've boasted about
Look who's crying now
Driftwood floats, after years of erosion
Incoming tide touches roots to expose them
Quicksand steals my shoes
Clouds bring the f-stop blues
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted
How many years and you've barely even tasted
Anything remotely close to
Everything you've boasted about
Look who's crying now
