Lullaby
Jack Johnson
Text File
Note: I was browsing for the tabs of this song and only found the version
of Richard Y, which is pretty good, but not exactly as I hear it in the song.
I used his work as a basic to make it sound exactly (at least I think so)
as it is in the original version. Enjoy, and thanks a lot to Richard!
I hope you guys like this!

If the picking seems to difficult, you could also try this version.
When played smoothly you can hardly hear the difference ;)
