If I Had Eyes Tab

Song: If I Had Eyes
Album: Sleep Through the Static

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. This was done totally
ear.

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!
