THIS TAB SUCKS

gregorykicks - 2004-07-10

If you don't look at the intro the rest of the song isn't too bad.
Intro is WAY off.

greg

whatsup - 2004-09-07

i agree

XPiLlAr4ChRiStX - 2004-10-12

into sucks bad. the rest is ok.

jaquiths - 2004-10-17

THIS ISN'T WORTH READING

tomhawk - 2004-11-24

you people get a life

AudioA_gurl - 2004-12-02

FORGET THE WHOLE SWITCHFOOT THING AND LISTEN TO AUDIO ADRENALINE!!!!!

jsoccer - 2004-12-08

ah, because switchfoot is better.

jsoccer - 2004-12-10

guys, SHUT UP. He did his best, definition of chistian "little christ" like what would God do if He saw the comments you guys made? God said to ENCOURAGE AND BUILD EACH OTHER UP!! not tear each other down and over a tab c'mon guys.
and if you are so good why are looking at others tabs

tomhawk - 2004-12-15

tell em jsoccer

JeniRN - 2004-12-26

Amen!

sporsboi - 2004-12-27

haha YA JSOCCER!

Amatur Tabber - 2004-12-30

Get Building 429's Space In Between Us CD and look at the orgin of their name
NEVER MIND!!!


Ephesians 4:29 "Let no unwholesome talk (or typing) come out of your mouths, except that which is helpful for building up, according to their needs, that it might benefit those who listen."


Build this man up.

AT

P.S. Buy the CD anyway! It's an AWESOME CD!

play4jsus - 2005-01-24

In the end of you guy's lives, you won't remember this tab. I bet in a few weeks you won't even think about it. How about we all think on things above instead of earthly things get in the way.

technometal - 2005-03-28

Unwholesome talk= s*****
I don't think Jesus would type that.
And this tab isn't really THAT bad.

rockin_4_Christ - 2005-04-16

this tab is not that bad. and if u play the intro, ya it sounds different, but when i played it i thought it sounded decent, i mean its not perfect but it is not as bad as some of you are making it sound, chill out guyz, and Amatur Tabber is right, we are supposed to build each other up, not tear each other down, so think about what you are saying first.

acethrowbot - 2005-05-13

ya, you guys are not only being way to critical, but this tab is pretty good actually. you guys need to chill a little bit and be a little bit nicer.

technometal - 2005-06-10

Here's the verse all you need is the low e string (even though it's technically a d)

E: 4p0 0 0 2p0 0 0 4p0 00 4h5p4 4p0 0 0 2p0 0 0 4p0 0 0 4h5h7

then play
D: 4
A: 4
D: 4

all this times 2

technometal - 2005-06-10

sorry its in drop D tuning i didnt mention that

bretm - 2005-06-13

i dont think this tab is too bad. in fact the chorus is almost exactly the same as one of the highest rated tabs on this site. The intro could use some work as people have already pointed out, but good job anyway.

mtlmouth - 2005-07-04

Hey, you know what, I think this guy did one of the best tabs on here. Everyone's trying to tab this out, but no one's got it quite right yet, so we wind up with a bunch of tabs with ratings around 2.5. This one's not bad at all.

guys 2 wrongs don't make a right, in other words if some one critizises some one you don't scream back at him

hihihisteel9 - 2005-10-29

ok ><> ??????????????????????

guitarmaster2 - 2006-03-16

i think this is the correct tab...

Drop E string to a D

-2-2-2-------0-0-0-------2-2-2-------5-5-5-5-7-7--
-------------------------2-2-2-------5-5-5-5-7-7--

thats the intro it sounds pretty close to the reel thing with the right affect. enjoy. P.S. this is the intro.

guitarmaster2 - 2006-03-16

OK... you need a solo!

solo
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
--4b5--2--0--4--0--------------------------

----------------------7b-------------------
slow full bend and play it with
the song so you go the right speed.

its pretty easy

12UpodKutOath K - 2006-04-07

That's more like a fill than a solo. But this song is alright if you look past the intro.

jaguar777 - 2006-05-28

First of all . It's in drop D. And it's played like this.
