Alright, so this is a tab for Holes to Heaven by Jack Johnson on the Thicker
Than Water OST. This song was played by Mr.Johnson with 1 acoustic guitar,
in contrast to the Holes to Heaven that appears on On and On. This is
certainly the best version to play with acoustic guitar. The strumming
pattern in standard Jack Johnson style, and might be hard to pick up off the
start, but just listen to the song, and you'll get it - try just practicing
it with the strings muted.

Verse 1:
[G]the air was more than humid
[G]and the heat was more than hungry
[G]and the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes[Em1]
(walk up b/t verses- pluck low E once and then change from Em to G)
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jack_johnson/holes_to_heaven_crd_ver_2.html )
[G]the bulls were running wild
[G]because they’re big and mean and sacred
[G]and the children were playing cricket with no sh[Em1]oes
(walk up b/t verse & chorus- pluck low E once and then change from Em to Bm)
Chorus:
[Bm]the next morning we woke up, man, to a seven hour drive
[C]well there we were stuck in port blaire where boats break and children stare
[G]and there were so many fewer questio[D]ns
when s[Em]tars were still j[Bm]ust the holes to h[C]eaven
[Em2] m[Am]mhmm
[G]and there were so many fewer questio[D]ns
when [Em]stars were still j[Bm]ust the holes [C]to heaven
[Em2] m[Am]mhmm
Gx4
- same as previous verse -
Verse 2:
disembarking from the port
with no mistakes of any sort
moving soundly, engine running smooth
officials were quite friendly
once we drown them with our sweet talk
and we bribe them with our cigarettes and booze
Chorus 2:
[Bm]the next morning we woke up man with the sunrise to the right, well,
[C]moving back north to port blaire where boats break and children stare
[G]and there were so many fewer questio[D]ns
when s[Em]tars were still j[Bm]ust the holes to h[C]eaven
[Em2] m[Am]mhmm
[G]and there were so many fewer questio[D]ns
when s[Em]tars were still j[Bm]ust the holes [C]to heaven
[Em2] m[Am]mhmm
ends on G
