Tabbed by: Jamstein
Email: blackberrymanischewitz@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard
So, here's a tab of Jack's newest single, "If I Had Eyes," which will be officially
on December 11th, ultimately to come out on his album "Sleeping Through The Static," due out
February.
This tab is gonna be very basic, just to give you an idea of how to play the song, and
to expect with regards to chords. It's very simple and straight-forward, so I hope this
you out in some way.

I know this is a pretty rough tab, but considering that the single hasn't even
been released yet, I hope you can make do. Thanks to casio g.c. from the Jack Johnson message
for the lyrics, which i modified slightly. Enjoy this, and keep listening to JJ.
