Breakdown Jack Johnson
Capo 5th fret, standard tuning
INTRO: ||: G | Bm | Em | D :||
[G] I hope this old [Bm]train breaks down
[Em] Then I could take a [D]walk around
[G] And see what there [Bm]is to see
[Em] And time is just a [D]melody
Well all the [G]people in the street
Walk as [Bm]fast as their feet can take them
[Em]I just roam through [D]town
And though my [G]windows got a view
Well the [Bm]frame I?m looking through
Seems to [Em]have no concern for me [D]now, so for now I
CHORUS:
[G] I, [D/F#]need this her[Em]e old train to [D]breakdown
[G] Oh, [D/F#]please jus[Em]t let me please [D]breakdown
||: G | Bm | Em | D :||
[G] This engine [Bm]screams out loud
[Em] Sayin? the beat gonna [D]crawl westbound
[G] So I don?t even [Bm]make a sound
Caus[Em]e it?s gonna sting me when I [D]leave this town
All the [G]people in the street
That I'll [Bm]never get to meet
If [Em]these don?t bend some[D]how
And [G]I got no time that [Bm]I got to get to
[Em]Where I don?t need to [D]be, so I
(CHORUS TWICE)
| G | D11 C | G |
I wanna break on down
| D11 C | G | D11 C | G | D11 C |
But I can?t stop now Let me break on down
But you [G]can?t stop nothing if you [Bm]got no control
Of the [Em]thoughts in your mind that you [D]kept in, you know
You [G]don?t know nothing, but you [Bm]don?t need to know
The [Em]wisdom?s in the trees, not the [D]glass windows
You [G]can?t stop wishing if you [Bm]don?t let go
But [Em]things that you find and you [D]lose, and you know
You [G]keep on rolling put the [Bm]moment on hold
The [Em]frames too bright so put the [D]blinds down low
(CHORUS TWICE)
| G | D/F# | Em | D | G | D/F#
I wanna break on down
| Em | D ||: G | D/F# | Em | D :|| G . . .
But I can?t stop now
[D11]
