Ayden:

The artist, G. Love is from Philly. Here is a Philadelphia Inquirer article with some info on the making of the ad.

Tom

Thanks Tom,

I just realized who it was as I was listening to write the lyrics and I heard say g-love. I remember he and jack johnson cut a few tracks together.

Do you think he used a 145 in G?

haha i didnt know it'd put my name down when i commented. maybe i should have used my real name then. alright but anyways i was lookin for a tab for this song too, and there were none so i found your post and went to the site and figured it out. alright im pretty sure this is right. i dont really know the right chords for the rap part but this works, and you just hafta like choppy strum it for the rap part. hah k here it is:


standard tuning


I'd [G]like to give the world a break,
put a smile on your face,[A7] as I erase the stress
from the rat race, so you can [D7]chill, and check
your life, cause it's a thrill, take some [C]time to enjoy the real thing, so I say...


I'd [G]like to teach the world to chill
Take [A7]time to stop and smile
I [D7]like to buy the world a coke
and [C]chill w/ it a [G]while...


sometimes you [G]need to relax when things get rough so turn off your phone and let me tell you little somethin bout

It's a simple [G]thing
That the world wants to[A7]day... song fades out...[D7][C7][G]


G : |x|10|12|10|12|10| or 320033
A7: |x|12|14|12|14|12| or x02020
D7: |x|5|7|5|7|5| or xx0212
C: |8|10|8|9|8|8| or 032010

use the bar chords for the rapping part
and the regular chords for the chorus parts

any questions email me at lobster418@hotmail.com

oh i also meant to say that i didnt feel like figuring out the words to the second rap part but i got like the first sentence but theres other stuff

Thanks so much Leliso I really appreciate you taking the time to tab this out for me.

Awesome. I reckon I'll be able to functify the intro and jam w/ it.

Thanks again,

Ayden

That song's been around since the 1970's, and it was from an original Coke commercial, as well!

But, I never tried to play it! hehehe

Chris

I hear you Chris I was interested either until G-Love turned the tune up a notch.

BAM!!!

Really digging the song now.

I don't know about the chords and stuff, but there may be some
reason this song is so catchy. Check out what my brother's
friend found: Is this for real?

Well, I've watched the commercial a couple times now.

A lot of the stuff may be a coincidence...but you never know.

What I DO know is that the red circle with three red circles in it doesnt seem to have the three red circles in it in the commercial. Go figure.

Also, the G could just be a reference to the artist, G Love. (By the way, if you liked this song you may like "My baby's got sauce" by G Love and Special Sauce.)

Who knows?

I stand corrected, I watched it a few times more and it is there, but its not in the shot I thought it was. Plus, the entire coke zero site is about how screwed up the world is 'cause everyone's uptight.

My analysis: The Coca-Cola executives are all hippies. At least we have some left.
