Song: If I Had Eyes
Album: Sleep Through the Static
Artist: Jack Johnson
I pre-ordered this album on iTunes and got on the release day and fell in love with this
So hereÂ’s how I play it, IÂ’m pretty sure this is how he plays it. This was done totally
ear.

End on a D chord.
ThatÂ’s it, pretty simple like most of his songs. This seems 100% right to me (I think it
the other tabÂ’s asses) so I hope it helps a lot. Please rate!
