Fading West (ver 3) by Switchfoot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fading West - Switchfoot - The Edge of The Earth EP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Davey Fuller
E-mail:
Tuning: standard - EADGBE
This is one of my favourite songs of all time and I believe it's one of Switchfoot's
greatest songs to date. I thought I'd set out a little tab for some acoustic bits that
I've heard here and there.
Please comment any corrections! :)
Chord Key: (You can use any variety of these chords at any point in the song,
whatever sounds best to you. I like the open B up on seventh, it sounds correct to me
in the chorus!)
B - 799800 // x24400 (Jon plays the x24400 in the film scene)
A - 577600 // x02200
E - 022100 // x79900 // x222000
D# - 111313121111 // x68886 (these are eleven's thirteen's and twelve!!)
G#m - 466400 // x66400
F# - 244322
BITS TO NOTE FOR AN ADDED GUITAR IF YOU'RE RECORDING
Intro riff (heard as string ensemble on record)
This is the closest I can get to the bit Drew plays in the
film scene when they're jamming in Bali. Just mess around
sliding up and down on the D string between 7,9,11,13 and 14,
you'll hear it.)
