This is how I saw Jake play it on youtube video acoustically. The other tabs for this are pretty
good but this way sounds alot better to me. Also listen to the song to figure out how the main riff sounds
I'm gonna try and tab it the best I can.
Intro/Main Riff: This is the tab for the way he slides down to make that main riff
---------x--x-----x--x----
---------x--x-----x--x----
-1-------x--x-----x--x---- 2x
-2-------x--x-----x--x----
-2-------4--4--/--6--6----
---------0--0--/--0--0----
---------x--x-----x--x----
---------x--x-----x--x----
-2-------x--x-----x--x---- 2x
-2-------x--x-----x--x----
-2-------4--4--/--6--6----
---------0--0--/--0--0----
Then starts the verse which you can continue the riff or use the chords. Improvise and experiment.
Verse:
E
So just watchin' her blonde hair, sun burnt, stare at them, white caps rolling over
A
Laid back in a thrift store beach chair, droppin' limes in a Corona
E
Well, she looks back, yeah, she throws me a kiss, like "Honey, I sure want you."
A
And it's a hundred and three between her and me and only 92 in Daytona
[Chorus:]
And it's....
E A
sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide rollin'
E A
White sand, cold can, koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling
B A
Chillin', breezing, sippin', singin' whoa
Beachin'

E
We got 2-for-1s, we're at a Margarita bar, whatever happens happens
A
And there's a reggae band, full of dread heads, just sittin' in the corner laughin'
E
Well, my baby walks over, drops a 20 in a jar, she smiles and shakes it at me
A
Yeah, she gets 'em goin', she gets 'em playin' a little "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
[Chorus:]
And it's....
E A
sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide rollin'
E A
White sand, cold can, koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling
B A
Chillin', breezing, sippin', singin' whoa
Beachin'
Play Main Riff During these two lines
Ha ha aww yeah...a little palm tree leaning
I got a Margarita here in my hand, doin' a little drinkin'
[Chorus:]
E (let ring)
Talkin' 'bout sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide rollin'
A (let ring)
White sand, cold can, koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling
B(once) A(once) A(Once)
Chillin', breezing, sippin', singin' whoa,
Beachin'
Then for the last chorus I play the main riff for the first two lines until the B chord
[Chorus:]
And it's....
E A
sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide rollin'
E A
White sand, cold can, koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling
B A
Chillin', breezing, sippin', singin' whoa
Beachin'
Then finish out the the main riff.
END
