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 here’s how I play it, I’m pretty sure this is how he plays it.

End on a D chord. That’s it, pretty simple like most of his songs. This seems 100% right to me (I think it the other tab’s asses) so I hope it helps a lot. Please rate! By JayTeeRocks07 ************************************ | / Slide up | x Dead note ************************************
