Submitted by: JagsterDare you to Move: Written by Switchfoot: "The Beautiful Letdown" version. All right, I have studied this song for a while now. I guarantee this is very accurate. I’ve taken into consideration all of the other posts of this song and tried every which way possible in which I think this song can be played. Please note that there are multiple guitars playing in the recording. This, I believe, is the best/most accurate tab that can be compiled for one guitar. Also note that some chords may sound weird on their own, but believe me, when played with the CD, they sound spot on. Sorry in advance for not including the lyrics. The board doesn’t allow lyrics but you can email me (which can be found at the end of the post) and I’ll send you the tab that I typed up on Microsoft Word. In fact, I suggest you email me because I believe it will be easier to read on Microsoft Word, and a little clear as well (since I am able to do a few things more, such as bolding certain numbers/words etc). I also have a cool "lick" that I believe can be heard in their live versions. /=Slide b=Bend h=Hammer x=mute string -- (blank)=don’t play string ~~~=let ring The rhythm (or the easiest way that I think you should count in your head, at least until you get the rhythm, which eventually comes naturally) is as follows and corresponds to the tab down below it: The song starts with sixteenth notes.

The chorus should be counted in quarter notes (each number is a quarter note, not a sixteenth note). 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 e-0~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~0-0~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~ B-0~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~0-0~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~ G-9~~~~~~~8~~~~~~~9~~~~~~~~~~~~~8-9~~~~~~~8~~~~~~~9~~~~~~~8~~~~~~~ D-9~~~~~~~9~~~~~~~9~~~~~~~~~~~~~9-9~~~~~~~9~~~~~~~9~~~~~~~9~~~~~~~ A-7~~~~~~~9~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~9-7~~~~~~~9~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~9~~~~~~~ E-7~~~~~~~7~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~7-7~~~~~~~7~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~7~~~~~~~ Now go back and play through the intro twice. Second verse: The counting now switches to sixteenth notes again (actually you can count however you want, but this seemed to have worked well for me as I started to learn the song). There are basically two parts to this verse. The first part is directly below and the second part is directly below the first part. 1 2 3 4 1 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 e----------------------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------------------- G-4-6-6-6-----4-6-6-6-----6-6-4-4--------------------------------- x2 D-4-6-6-6-----4-6-6-6-----6-6-4-4--------------------------------- A-2-4-4-4-----2-4-4-4-----4-4-2-2--------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------------------- 1 2 3 4 1 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 1 2 3 4 e----------------------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------------------- G----------------------------------------------------------------- D-4-2-2-2-----4-2-2-2-----4---6---7-7-7-7-----7-7-7-7-----7---9--- A-4-2-2-2-----4-2-2-2-----2---6---7-7-7-7-----7-7-7-7-----7---9--- E-2-0-0-0-----2-0-0-0-----2---4---5-5-5-5-----5-5-5-5-----5---7--- Now repeat the first part once, then repeat the second part once. That should lead you back to the chorus, which is exactly the same as the one given before. Bridge: There are a few ways that this can be done. You can use the chords from the chorus (going from 779900 to 007900 or 009900 (very similar chords)) or you can use the one that is posted below. The reason I choose this way is (1), it will allow for an easier transition at the end of the bridge, (2), the weird chord that I have added will be much easier to transition to and (3) it gives some variety. The only negative I suppose is that the other way (779900 to 007900/009900) allows for an easier transition from the last chord of the chorus to the first chord of the bridge. Eh, you can decide what you like better. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 e-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- B-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- G-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- x2 D-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- A-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- Here’s the weird chord. It’s some form of E, but I don’t know its name exactly. If you can’t figure the fingering out just email me. If you find that you don’t like this chord then just use the same chord (022400) again on the third time through. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 e-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- B-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- G-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- D-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- A-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- E-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 e-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ B-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ G-3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~6~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ D-4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A-4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ E-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Solo: This is actually quite easy. The strumming pattern sounds a little tricky on the CD, but that’s because two guitars (one playing the main part and one adding some off beat notes) are playing. So I have tried to incorporate both guitars into one by accenting different beats. So instead of counting 1234 and accenting on 1 every time, I have done things a little differently. All the 1’s below are the accents:(All sixteenth notes) Note: The bend on the 15th fret is one big bend, not multiple bends. 1 2 3 4 1 - 1 2 3 4 1 – 1 2 3 – 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 e----------0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-- B-7-7-7-h9-5---5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5---/10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10- 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 e-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-- B-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12- 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 e-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--- B-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-/15b-15b-15b-15b-15b-15b-15b-15b- 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 e-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--- B-15b-15b-15b-15b-15b-15b-15b-15b- So basically you are playing 7 7 7 h9, then moving to the 5th fret, then sliding up to the 10th fret, then sliding up to the 12th fret, and finally sliding up to the 15th fret. On the 15th fret you want to bend the B string upwards (toward your face). Make sure you bend it slowly and gradually upwards so that by the end it’s bent more than it was in the beginning. I hope this makes sense, lol. And if you don’t want to do all the weird strumming/counting, then just play 7 7 7 h9, then play on the 5th fret 12 times, the 10th fret 16 times, 12th fret 16 times, and the 15th fret 16 times (with the bend). Just make sure that you only hit the bottom two strings (except for the 7 7 7 h9 part) otherwise it doesn’t sound very good. That’s it. I did my best to make this as clear as possible, but if you guys have any questions concerning strumming patterns, counting, chords, confusing tabs, lyrics or anything else that gives you problems feel free to email me at jagster531@comcast.net. I can also send you this tab in Microsoft Word if you want as mentioned before. Thanks and God Bless.
