I can play this song, but for the verses, I use bar chords. There is another way to play it by using open chords. Does anyone know how to play this song this way? BTW, it's by Jack Johnson. Thanks

Im dont know how to play the song, but I would assume that the open chords would be the same as the barre chords from the way you play it. Like the chord 577555 is an Am which is the same as x0221x. Hope that helps

Just to let you know I am pretty sure Jack Johnson plays the barre chords. So using open chords will make it sound a just a little different.

Only for the Em. The second half of the chorus is just the first chord in the verse.

I suppose maybe it is an open Am, but even then those are the only two open chords he uses. The rest are power chords.
