Inaudible Melodies Jack Johnson
This is an awesome song, with some really cool guitar parts. It can be a bit
tricky at first but is really pretty fun to play and sing to. The only part I
think might be a bit off the original would be the end of the first verse,
but it still sounds perfectly fine, and that is how I play it. Just listen
to the song if you have questions. But, enjoy!

--2nd Verse--
Well dust off your t[F#]hinking caps
Solar powered [B]plastic plants
Pretty pictures of [F#]things we ate
We are only [B]what we hate
But in the long [C#]run we have found
Silent films are [B]full of sound
Inaudibly [F#]free
--Chorus--
[F#]Slow down everyone you're
[Bb]Moving too fast
[B]Frames can't catch you when you're
[G#]Moving like that
--3rd Verse--
[F#]Inaudible melodies
[Bb]Severe narrational strategies
[B]Unobtrusive tones help to
[G#]Notice nothing, but the zone of
[F#]visual relevancy
[Bb]Frame lines tell me what to see
[B]Chopping like an axe and maybe
[G#]Eisenstein should just relax
Chorus

--Bridge--
[F#]Well Plato's cave is full of freaks
[Bb]Demanding refunds for the things they've seen
[B]I wish they could believe in all the
