SONG TITLE : NEWS

ARTIST : JACK JOHNSON

CD : BRUSHFIRE FAIRYTALES

Standard Tuning  EADGBE

A                            Bm               A

A billion people died on the news tonight

                             Bm

But not so many cried at the terrible sight

           A

Well mama said

                        C#m

It's just make believe

                                      Bm

You can't believe everything you see

                                       D           Dm

So baby close your eyes to the lullabies

        A                     Bm

On the news tonight

A                                    Bm           A

Who's the one to decide that it would be alright

                            Bm

To put the music behind the news tonight

            A

Well mama said

                                         C#m

You can't believe everything you hear

                              Bm

The diagetic world is so unclear

                          D        Dm

So baby close your ears

             Bm

On the news tonight

               F#m

On the news tonight

Bm                                 F#m

The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight

                  A              

And mama said

E

Mmm

A                                                    Bm              

Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die

A                                                   Bm  

At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes

        A

Mama said

                        C#m

It's just make believe

You cant believe everything you see

Bm                                       D         Dm

So baby close your eyes to the lullabies

           A                    Bm             A

On the news tonight

This is my first tab, so go easy on me if you notice any flaws.  

Listen to the song for the timing.  Thanks K-C, and Chris for getting

me started on guitar, and helpin a brother out when needed.  Much Love.

Later, Jake.
