Flake Lyrics
by Jack Johnson
Title: ?Flake?
I saw D.Yamaki's version of the tab. It was good, but it was somewhat confusing,
so I thought I'd make it more easy to understand. Unfortunately, I don't know the
slide guitar part melody for the interlude, so if anyone figures it out before me,
then please e-mail me.
I tried to show the strumming pattern as well as I could but, Listen to the song for
the strumming pattern.
The chords used:
Jack Johnson plays it in the fifth position.
The ?x? is in the place where he mutes/?chops? the strings.
So the song in tablature goes like this:
INTRO/VERSE:
G-----2--2-x----2----2-2----x----5-------*--| Repeat
CHORUS:
G--2--2-x--2---2-2--x---5--5-x--5--5-5--x----*| REPEAT
INTERLUDE (The backing for the slide guitar solo)
G----1--1-x---1----1-1----x---*| REPEAT
Then when he starts to sing again:
The song with the lyrics goes like this:
INTRO:
I know she said it's alright
But you can make it up next time
I know she said it's not right
There ain't no use in Lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe maybe she thinks it's fine
Maybe she knows something I don't I'm so,
I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
CHORUS:
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down
VERSE:
I know she loves the sunrise
no longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah,
I wouldn't want to break em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie to her
CHORUS:
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down
CHORUS:
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down
INTERLUDE:
