You get the idea....God Bless!! Once again another great song
by Switchfoot
The basics are correct! Very nice job!
The chords in the chorus, according to the AOL sessions video are simply
D A G Bm. And also, on the first chord on "I'm singing this one. . .", the electric is adding (from memory) the high E string open.
I am totally in love with this song. But like Beyer said...the chords are D A G Bm
u need to alternate the intro so its 12,11,10 all at one but 12,11 and then 10 and the same with the next one
---10----10----10-
-11----11----11---
-12----12----12--- and then
-11----11----11---
-12----12----12---
---10----10----10-
