Backstop - 2004-04-02
The April issue of Guitar One magazine has an excellent tab of this song. I dont usually buy it but had to get the tab for the Foot!

Dear backstop please put it on the site
JoeCool69 - 2004-07-22
the intro should be like this
e-------------------------------------
b-------------------------------------
g--4-4-----2--------------------------
d--4-4-4b--2-4b--2-4b---5-5-5-7-------
a--2-2-----0-----2------5-5-5-7-------
d----------------2------5-5-5-7-------
b=bend
Bending is where you hold your finger on the desired fret and move the finger downon the same string
bc2skaterpunk - 2004-07-26
the solo that plays during the inro part is
e-
b-
g-
d-4-0-2-0
a--------4-0
E-----------7{bend and hold}
theguitard - 2004-07-29
the intro is like joecool69 said, except they also play an open 'g' during that bend.
(<MW>) Gollum - 2004-08-13
the solo actually goes like this...
e|----------------------------|
b|----------------------------|

d|-3/5-4-2---4-2-0------------|
a|---------5------------------|

JoeCool69 - 2004-08-16

here it goes
instead of hammering down like someone said just bend it so it goes
e
b
g 444----222----------------------------------------
d 444-4b-222-4b-222-4b-5555-77----------------------
a 222----000----222----5555-77----------------------
D --------------222----5555-77----------------------
thats pretty much what he did on it but i just wanted to rewrite it
then on the second part play
e
b
g
d 4002246---------------------- 5
a 4002246---------------------- then on the last one end on 5
D 4002246---------------------- 5
the solo is
e
b
g
d
a 9b-7-5-9-5-----------
D -----------9-7s/9----
i dont know how to write slide so i just put 7s/9 for 7 slide to 9
there is no playing during the singing in the verse just hold the G power chord
then go
e
b
g
d 4-00-2-00-4-00-454 457 5
a 4-00-2-00-4-00-454 but on the second time go 457 5
D 4-00-2-00-4-00-454 457 5
the chorus is
e
b
g
d 555 xxxx777 xxxx999 xxxx2222222
a 555 xxxx777 xxxx999 xxxx2222222
D 555 xxxx777 xxxx999 xxxx2222222
the other guitar part does the bend thing
i'm not too sure about the acoustic part except it goes along the lines of
e 0
b 3
g 2
d 0
a 0
D 0
thats pretty much it except the very last part which i'm too tired to do now
i didn't make a new one because there were plenty on here and i'm too lazy but this is right
if you want me to "correct" another song just email me or add me to your msn my email is stevo_15_15@hotmail.com
peace out and god bless
Danny-Boy - 2004-09-02
not to enter the intro controversy, but all of the ones i've played don't sound quite like it and only 1 or 2 have come close. the closest i have come to it is this.
please try:
E-------------------
A-------------4-0-2-
D-5-4-2-0-4-0-------
G-------------------
B-------------------
e-------------------
stevo_1515 - 2004-09-02
thats the exact same thing that i wrote just on different strings and if you listen to it it slides from a to b
also i forgot to put what the x's mean. that just means mute the strings
the end parg just goes back and forth from
e
b
g 7
d 7
a 5
D
and
e
b
g 11
d 11
a 9
D
Natron - 2004-09-03
im confused
whatsup - 2004-09-07
guys the intro goes like this
D--------------------------------------------3-3-3-3-5-5
A-------9b10b9--------9b10b9--------9b10b9---3-3-3-3-5-5
E-7-7-7--------5-5-5---------0-0-0-----------3-3-3-3-5-5
that simple, no power chords until you get to the part where both of the guitars play at the exact same time
skater_5600 - 2004-09-20
I think this is how the intro goes, this is how I play it and it sounds exactly like the song on the CD.
G-4-4-4-0---------0--------0---

LarryJoeBrownJr - 2004-10-03
btw, the discrepncy between 244 and 355 chords is due to the fact that the guitar on the recording is half a step off from each. go with what you will, 2 4 4 is probably easiest, so just take what i have and what saltythedog has and above this reply and lower it half a step. but its definately off from both 2 and 3 (according to guitar pro ;), speaking of which, i put it into guitar pro so if you want the file email me at thesuperjesus@gmail.com, its only the intro, the rest of it is on here)
uberDan101 - 2004-10-04
wow..how about we stick to listening to the song?
stevo_1515 - 2004-10-06
salty have you ever listened to the song
k516 - 2004-10-06
oh my gosh guys its just a song we dont care how YOU play it
god bless
xEclipse - 2004-10-12
hm.. i play the solo like this:
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A-----------0---4-0-----------------------------------------------------
D--------------------7b9---------------------------------------------------
GuitarBeemer - 2004-10-16
dudes, for real,
the intro solo is
D-4--4b-4-2-0-4-0------
A-----------------4-0--
E---------------------7b9
Where it says 7b9 it means bend the seventh fret slowly until it sounds like the you're on the ninth fret.
GuitarBeemer - 2004-10-16
the last solo is(important note at the bottom!)
e-----------------------------------------------------------

E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------
Play 4xs
on last time, don't play the 777777
xxxxxx
555555
IMPORTANT! the 1 on the last six notes, means 11, but there's not enough
room for it.
GuitarBeemer - 2004-10-16
did i say solo?
i meant chorus
Chrishawk4 - 2004-10-16
You know this is very confusing why doesn't one of you find out the real version and put it on. And end the controversy.
わたしはギターがだいすきです。That means i love the guitar.
josh2787 - 2004-10-26
This is the CORRECT intro tab for REGULAR tuning

GuitarBeemer - 2004-10-28
there is no powerchords in the first intro, it's just individual stringing until the two guitars play at the same time. Trust me, i listen to the song all the time, ALL THE TIME.
jsoccer - 2004-11-04
you are all wrong, the intro is like this: b=bend /=slide drop d tuning

carsonh76 - 2004-11-06
someone finally got the intro right!
jcsupafreek - 2004-11-06
you guys should just go to ultimate-guitar.com like I did.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
curt123 - 2004-11-22
hey guys i went and saw them live and got a chance toget a copy of thir music it is as "jsoccer" said it perfectly
rc7majesty - 2004-11-22
Hey guys, Josh2787 is correct, that is how you play it, i have a friend that his brother's band opened for Switchfoots concert.
keith91 - 2004-11-24
Hey guys, my fruend showed me this for part of the intro:

--000-9b---------

So that's how i play it have fun and God bless you all!
laurenrae1390 - 2004-11-26
ok im not exactly sure if this is the right lead solo tab on the second repetition or not but i think it is
E-------------------------------------------------------------------]
B-------------------------------------------------------------------]
G-------------------------------------------------------------------]
D------4b----2--0--4--0---------------------------------------------]
A------------------------4--0--0--(2)-------------------------------]
E-------------------------------------------------------------------]
(2) optional
b=bend
right after you play the a string open ( last note) it sounds like it switches to the second fret on the A string.

a--02200220---- ---4444445~--------------------------
d--0220022----- ---4444445~----------------------------

all the other bits are alot easily made out, you seem to know the rest.

-keep playin for God!
jsoccer - 2004-12-10
GLO28 great lead solo
laurenrae1390 - 2004-12-24
ok yeah sorry everyone for my posting of the solo I put you can play the 2nd fret a string as the last note before the opening verse, I was wrong make that a 7b9
guitarguy3000 - 2005-01-08
WOW! what a mess!
Penguin_Lover - 2005-01-23
Hi um... I might just be a rokie... but why when you do drop d tunung the rest of the strings stay like A,D,G,B,E. And I aggree THIS IS A MESS!!!
Funion - 2005-01-25
Most of you are really close but the intro is like this:
D|-------4h5p4-------4b-r-2-2-2-4b--5-5-7-7-|
A|-2-2-2-------0-0-0------2-2-2-----5-5-7-7-|
D|------------------------2-2-2-----5-5-7-7-|
And her's the acoustic part
e|-0--0-- -0--5
B|-3--8-- -3--8
G|-2--7--x2 -2--7 Nd then there's the dist. part & all that
D|-0--0-- -0--5
A|-0--0-- -0--5
D|-0--5-- -0--5
SunnyDays102 - 2005-01-28
yeah, on the intro, starting at the very beginning, its just single notes. (drop d)
D--------------------2-2-2-----5-5-5--7------
A-2-2-2----0-0-0---------------5-5-5--7------
D-------4b-------4b--------4b--5-5-5--7------
G--------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------
then after you do that once, you do basically the same thing but with power chords. but just to clear up part of teh controversy, im 10000% sure, no, POSITIVE that the very very beginning is just single strings, then come in woth the G5 and A5, sa i have above. POSITIVE.
~keep it real
jambaman - 2005-02-02
whatsup is right, thats how the intro goes!

BillNukem - 2005-02-09
here is the completely correct way to do the intro. I just listened to the song nonstop for a whole weekend to learn how to play it so trust me. Plus, I'm listening to it and playing it as I do this.
when it's just guitar

G------------------------------------
D-----4b5r-----4b5r-----4b5r--5--77--

Schecter_tabber - 2005-02-17
hey i think you did a pretty good job not exact but good
musicmessenger - 2005-03-12
You did the intro right a bend is the same thing as sliding your finger down a half step so it could be 4h5 or 4b :) try it you will see!!
ltd_tour - 2005-03-18
Hey guys u were al close but here is the intro and intro solo 100% correct

shred/dan - 2005-04-15
why do people care? just play it the way it sounds!!!
mtlmouth - 2005-04-19
Ugh, why do I get the feeling we're really over-complicating this song? :(
soarin2socr - 2005-05-11
During the first part of the intro, people have said that you bend the D string to the fourth fret. Maybe I'm just really stupid, but I am not aware that you can bend strings down. I think that its
E -----------------------------------------------------------
B -----------------------------------------------------------
G 4-4-4-----2-2-2--------------4-4-4-----2-2-2---------------
D 4-4-4-5/4-2-2-2-5-2-2-2-5/4--4-4-4-5/4-2-2-2-5/4-2-2-2-5/4-
A 2-2-2-----0-0-0---2-2-2------2-2-2-----0-0-0-----2-2-2-----
D ------------------0-0-0--------------------------0-0-0-----
The Intro Solo is
E ------------------
G ------------------
D -4b-2-0-4---------
A ----------4-0-----
D --------------7b--
I think this is right and that's how I play it.
The chorus and verse are just like the guy who originally put this up said.
Have Fun and God Bless

teens4God7 - 2005-05-14
guys all it is, is a bunch of power chords. The tab is easy i got my tab from a Christian music book. You've almost got it dude. Everybody else is off a lil, but close, i'll tab it later.
technometal - 2005-06-11
HERE IS THE INTRO SOLO IT'S 100% CORRECT:
E: ---------------
B: ---------------
G: ---------------
D: 4--------------
A: --7-5-4-5-4----
D: ------------7--
Bend the first and last notes, and hold the last note through the beginning of the verse.

Well, whos right? I'm just learning and don't know all this mumbo-jumbo and I would like to learn.
jkim519 - 2005-08-21
yo stop arguing geez if u don't like it then post ur own tab -_- just saying
jkim519 - 2005-08-21
also i think the verse(while singing) switches from 4th to 5th fret during the like... middle of the verse
GuitarMaster87 - 2005-11-23
wow. that's all there is too say. Everyone gets points for trying at least. and yes, we have completely made this way too complicated. yeesh.
jkim519 - 2006-01-24
yo can someone tab "Stars" or "Politicians"?
TheConcreteIdea - 2006-02-21
Ok this is by far the best tab for this song iv seen in a while and iv been playing for a while. Ok lets see where to start only a few minor corrections really cause you are right on just about..... ok to start with the um (h4p5 4)... yea whatever u can do that or you can just bend the string 4^ (this may be the same thing or sound the same or whatever i dont really know i dont usually see it written like that but try a 4^ bend
Ok next thing on verse its supposed to be played 4-0-0-2-0-0-4-0-0-4-5-4 ect... (you got a little 0 happy lol : )
AND THIS IS THE LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING!!!! ok this is a rule of thumb for all guitarist when playing this song... ok you dont have to play this song in drop D if you know how to make it work. When I play in gigs and for church groups it used to take me a sec to switch from standard to drop D in tuning between songs but here is how you would play in standard tuning (basically the same just a little variation... if you have been playing for anytime and understand the notes you will understand why this works)... ok...
for the intro you keep it the same until you come to third part of it where u have the
E
B
G
D--2-2-2
A--2-2-2
D--2-2-2
instead just make it a
E
B
G
D--2-2
A--2-2
D-----
and with a little half hammering it will sound the same also when you play the :
E
B
G
D--5-5-5-5-7-7
A--5-5-5-5-7-7
D--5-5-5-5-7-7
Change it to this:
E
B
G
D--5-5-5-5-7-7
A--5-5-5-5-7-7
D--3-3-3-3-5-5.
And make the verse part (relative to my original correction):
E
B
G
D-4-0-0--2-0-0-
A-4-0-0--2-0-0-
D-2-0-0-------- ... ect.
... by the way for new guitarist and old experienced guitarist who have never tooken the time to look at notes really closely this all works because of the relationship between the string "E" and the note "D" ... if you even get bored you should consider hooking up your tuner and hitting every fret on every string on the guitar to see its tune... its helps explain alot... you will see why this works and the patterns...
p.s. sorry for sending such a long message and i hope my tabs come out right... somtimes the tabs end up all out place...o well if they do try to make since of them... well bye email me at tracksprinter2882@yahoo.com if you need any help with any song in general cause i know alot or further explanation on anything iv talked about in this comment
p.s.s if you made it reading this far you are a champ... : )
rockNforchrist - 2006-05-21
I think GLO28 or Disciple24 is the closest to the intro solo, and thats after reading and trying every one thats posted.
jaguar777 - 2006-05-28
First of all . It's in drop D. And it's played like this.
