This is Jack Johnson^Òs "Flake" live solo acoustic version
on KROQ's private concert. This is my first time transcribing
a song, so sorry if I didn^Òt include any lyrics. I am 100 %
percent sure the chords, progressions, and song structure
are all correct.


Chords used in song:

          E A  D  G B e
A  (5th): 5 7  7  6 5 5
Bb (6th): 6 8  8  7 6 6
C  (3rd): x 3  5  5 5 3
C  (8th): 8 10 10 9 8 8
Dm (5th): x 5  7  7 6 5
F  (1st): 1 3  3  2 1 1

Legend:
D = Hard down strum
d = Normal down strum
u = Normal upstrum
x = Muted strings


Strumming chord/muted patterns example for the entire song:
