Song: �If I Had Eyes (Acoustic)�
Artist: Jack Johnson
Tabbed by: Robb rlsjaws@gmail.com
This is the solo, acoustic version that Jack performed during his performance for BBC Radio.
He uses barre chords for basically the entire song and plays in a lower key than his
versions, but you can use standard chords and it�ll sound fine.

A lot of people spend their time just floating

We were victims together but lonely

You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward

Building with bent nails we're falling but holding
