Oh!Gravity - 2007-04-07

I think the intro/chorus goes:

e|-3---3---3------
B|---3---1---0----
G|-------------2-0


Switchfoot_ - 2007-05-15

Here's my version:


Switchfoot-We Are One Tonight
Album: Nothing Is Sound
Copyright © 2005 Columbia Records


Tuning: It sounds good in half/step down, but that's what I do,
you could have it in standard.

In the song, for the verse, they play these weird forms of Em7 and Cadd9.
Here is the chord chart.


Em7* Em7 Cadd9* D G
E--------3----------2--3
B---8----3-----8----3--3
G---7----0-----7----2--0
D---0----2-----0----0--0
A---7----2-----7----0--2
E---7----0-----8----0--3

Note: You might think the speacial chords for the verse (Em7*, Cadd9*,)are
wrong, but they are what they play (for the verse). If you don't believe
me, see video. and, the chords with the * beside them are the speacial
ones.

I'm sure this is at least 99.9% right, if not 100%.

Intro: G D Em7 Cadd9 x2

Verse: Em7* cadd9* (over and over for entire verse)

Pre-chorus: D Em7 Cadd9 x2

Chorus:G D Em7 Cadd9 x4 (or till the chorus ends)

Intro

Verse 2

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Post-chorus: G D Em7 Cadd9

Pre-Chorus

Bridge: ("Let's slow the evening down..."
same chords as chorus)

Ending: Keep playing chorus, then fade out
