------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----7/9---11/14-13-14-13-11-------OR -----7/9--11/14--6-7-6\4-------------- A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Little riff at the end of each line of the chorus (synth/keys on record) e|--------9-7-------7-------------------------------------------------------- B|------------7-------7-5---------------------------------------------------- G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Here are the chords.
