This is a great song and I know that this tab is 100% accurate.  So, don't take my word for it, try it
out!  Oh yeah, this is just the guitars.  If you want the violin, then I'll add that
later if you guys want.
 
*Standard Tuning*
 
Guitar 1 - Ryan Key
Guitar 2 - Ben Harper
 
Guitar 1
--------
 
(0:00)Play once for intro, twice for verse, total of three times
Play it on your clean channel.  The recording uses tremolo, but they just play it
clean when they do live performances.

(1:11)Play Intro/Verse - start singing the second time through
(1:46)Play Pre-Chorus
(1:58)Play Chorus twice
(2:23)Bridge - let |-6-| ring out.
                   |-6-|
                   |-4-|
Then, play the Chorus twice *Note* A pickslide sounds really cool before the bridge,
so consider it :)
(2:48)Verse 3/Interlude - A Guitar 1 part isn't needed, but you can add it if you
want.  Ryan doesn't play it live, but it's in the recording.  If you want, just play
the Intro/Verse twice.
(3:12)Chorus - Play four times and let |-6-| ring out.
                                       |-6-|
                                       |-4-|
 
Guitar 2

Lack of formatting. Lack of accuracy. the solo part is not right or some notes was not correct specifically after the scaling part, the note goes out of tune.
dude this is perfect! just the violin part now and it will be complete!
