============================================================================= b = bend / = slide up \ = slide down . = staccato X = tone clusters N.C = no chords I know that this isn't exactly the way Switchfoot plays it, but if you don't want to play a whole bunch of riffs, and just want to be able to sing to some music, this tab is perfect. It took me a while to tab these out, so I hope you enjoy being able to play some of the best music in the world.
