Song: The One Thing I Have Left
Artist: Hawk Nelson
Cd: Smile, It's the End of the World
copyright 2006
Tabber- Relient Hawk
This is my first time tabbing a song. So it might be kind of confusing. But
it's really close to what they play. It is in drop d with every string tuned
down a half-step, so the low-D becomes a c#. If you are having trouble finding
the tuning, listen to the song so if you play the three low strings unfretted,
it sounds like what they play. Rate, correct, and enjoy!

Whew! That was fun (and hard)
Awesome tab, man! I missed the whole drop-tuned aspect of it, so I've got the same song tabbed in standard tuning with powerchords. They both sound pretty much the same.
Just to let you know i kno somone who talked to jonathon of Hawk Nelson and he said that all there songs are played in drop c# tuning........but i dunno if its true
hey, hawknelson 89. on the cd "Letters to the President", they played all of their songs in drop c#, but on their new cd, a few of the songs are in an even lower tuning. It's either drop c, or drop c minor.
ok this isn't right cause it is supposed to be in drop C# tuning. in the bridge, yer a little too high on the 0 chord. it is open but it's in drop C#. trust me on this i have consulted 12 people with this and played the song for them and this tab. they were all excellent players but they said the same thing i just did about the tuning. nice try though.
okay, one other thing. For all the people saying this song is supposed to be played in drop c#, i kno it is. I wrote it that way. Just read my intro to the song and it explains everything . I just didn't type

okay, guys. Like two people have rated my tab a zero for accuracy in the last two days. It was at a four this morning, and then one person voted, and now it's a 3.5. My tab is not a zero for accuracy. Come on, rate it honestly please.
I rated your tab a 5, but I just happened to notice something. I finally tuned my guitar down to drop-D the way it's supposed to be and tried playing the song with this tab. Frankly, I think you've got it played way to high... shouldn't it be down lower or something? I haven't really explored it but it seems off to me.
Also, if you watch the music video on hawknelson.com, it appears he plays standard powerchords (E3 A5 D5) instead of these (E3 A3 D3 [I'm not sure exactly what they're called])
Rockstar, I've watched the music video too, and you never really get a chance to see what he plays. But maybe they do play power chords in the verses instead of bar chords. But I think it's way easier to play bar chords. You can play it however you want, and thanks for the rating.
True that, Nelson - I've tried to catch it but it's really fast. It just seems like his hand positioning is a little weird for playing bar chords. Your tab definately works - you've hit the right notes - but it just seems like the real thing sounds lower, and heavier. I dunno, I could be wrong.
I drop-tuned my guitar (finally) so I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with.
alright. rockstar. try drop tuning it lower and lower until it sounds like it does at the end of the song when you play open, and that's the tuning it's supposed to be in.
Calm down bro, it's not that big of a deal. Your tab works just fine - I'm only saying there may be two ways to play it. (bar chords and regular powerchords.)
I understand what you're talking about now. I thought you meant you where having trouble finding the tuning. I see what you mean. They might be power chords.
It depends on what artist's song you are posting. This tab was up in one day, but I've submitted two more Halk Nelson songs since then, and neither of them are up yet. It all depends on the artists administrator.
I just realized that it might sound better if you play that riff in verse 2
a string higher but thats just me. And I feel stupid but how do you do a pick slide? I cant get it to sound right.
I think it's easier to play the riff in the string I have it, cause then you're not jumping around so much.
There aren't any pick slides in this song. The slides at the end are just finger slides, slide your left hand up to the next note.
Hey, I just bought the cd 2day and it’s awesome!!! Now I’m gonna have my little whinge and complain about how no good bands ever come to Australia… So if any of you guy’s know anyone from any good bands like falling up/project86/relient k/hawk nelson/TFK , could you please try and hint to them that all the aussie’s are missing out, and would luv to see/hear them live… That’s about it… By the way, u did a great job on the tab
good tab dave dude a couple of my friends saw the guitarist from hawk nelson in a bathroom they said hi be he didnt talk to them. It was after the show so I think he was leaving
I got to talk to all of the guys in HN after a show the sunday before last and the guitarist said they play in drop Db. I just wanted to clear that up 'cause I know theres a lot of going back and forth over what they play in.
This tab is great, heisouronlyhope has a really good tab too, but I probably like this one better because its easier to play (they both sound practically identical, except he uses strings 345 more and you use strings 456)
I actually use a bit of both tabs but thats irrelavant
Id like to know how you harmonize the riff in the second verse? I dont know anything about advance music theory so Id need someone to tab that part out for me. If someone finds this out that would be awesome.
It sounds good if you just play the notes, but It would be really cool if the harmony was there too!
Thanks to all the tabbers who have spend time to make this tab!
