Breakdown Jack Johnson
Key of C Major (A minor), this is a great song to practice soloing for you novices out
there who are just learning scales and stuff. This is my first tab, I'm positive it's
accurate, keep in mind though the sound will be a bit different because I think Jack
Johnson plays this on a Ukeleyle.

C:(x32010)

[C]I hope this old t[Em]rain breaks down
[Am]Then I could take a [G]walk around
[C]And, see what there i[Em]s to see
[Am]And time is just a m[G]elody
[C]All the people in the street
[Em]Walk as fast as their feet can take them
[Am]I just roam through to[G]wn
[C]And though my windows got a view
[Em]The frame im looking through
[Am]Seems to have no concern for me [G]now
So for now
(Chorus)
[C]I, need[Em] this here
[Am]Old train to [G]breakdown
[C]Oh, p[Em]lease just
[Am]Let me please b[G]reakdown
[C]This engine s[Em]creams out loud
[Am]Sayin the beat g[G]onna crawl westbound
[C]So I dont even m[Em]ake a sound
[Am]Cause its gunna sting me when I l[G]eave this town
[C]All the people in the street
[Em]That i'll never get to meet
If [Am]these dont bend s[G]omehow
[C]And I got no time
[Em]That I got to get to
[Am]Where I dont need to [G]be
So I
[C]I, [Em]need this here
[Am]Old train to [G]breakdown
[C]Oh, p[Em]lease just
[Am]Let me please b[G]reakdown
[C]I, n[Em]eed this here
[Am]Old train to b[G]reakdown
[C]Oh, p[Em]lease just
[Am]Let me please br[G]eakdown
[C]I wanna break on d[En]own
[Am]But I cant stop [G]now
[C]But you cant stop nothing
[Em]If you got no control
[Am]Of the thoughts in your mind
[G]That you kept in, you know
[C]You dont know nothing
[Em]But you dont need to know
[Am]The wisdoms in the trees
[G]Not the glass windows
[C]You cant stop wishing
[Em]If you dont let go
[Am]But things that you find
[G]And you lose, and you know
[C]You keep on rolling
[Em]Put the moment on hold
[Am]The frames too bright
[G]So put the blinds down low
[C]I, n[Em]eed this here
[Am]Old train to [G]breakdown
[C]Oh, p[Em]lease just
[Am]Let me please b[G]reakdown
[C]I, n[Em]eed this here
[Am]Old train to br[G]eakdown
[C]Oh, p[Em]lease just
[Am]Let me please br[G]eakdown
[C]I wanna break on d[Em]own
[Am]But I cant stop[G] now
