Artist: Switchfoot
Album: The Legend of Chin
Copyright 1997 Meadowgreen Music / Sugar Pete Songs / ASCAP

Intro (with slight distortion) note: I believe that Jon doesn't change the
distortion at all but I don't have the right amp or any dis. pedal to find
out.

E5* E5* D5 D5 /F5*Hold

Chorus
(Guitar and bass share the riff and it's hard to tell if the guitar is playing
the bass notes too because they are octaves so I included bass so you can play
the whole thing all by yourself!) note: keep high notes short and an optional
A5 can be played at the end of the F5* E5* lick instead of hitting the A bass
note

BIG note: Chords with an * after their name means that the chord is to be
played on the A string not the E string.

Even more notes: In the chorus Jon doesn't realy play the 2 on the D
string but why not?  Also, the F#5 in the verses may be a G5. Finally, 5
chords are power chords and I prefer to include the octave when playing
this song, but it's up to you.
