Hey there, this is my tab for Jack Johnson's "Upside Down", from the
album "Sing-a-longs and Lullabies for the film Curious George.
This is my little interpretation of it, with a little information borrowed
from some of the other tabs and songs.
The whole thing is pretty straightforward, only thing that might throw a
reader off is my lyric system. The key words at the start of a line corresponds
to the note directly above it, so try to read the lyrics diagonally. Sorry if
it can be confusing.
