Biography:
Switchfoot is a Grammy-winning alternative rock band from San Diego, California, United States. The band was formed in 1996 with the brothers Jon Foreman (lead singer/guitarist) and Tim Foreman (bass). Long-time friend Chad Butler (drums) joined soon after. Eventually the band evolved to what it is today with the addition of members Jerome Fontamillas (key/guitar/electronics - formerly of Mortal and Fold Zandura) and Drew Shirley (guitar - formerly of All Together Separate).

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Standard tuning: All chords listed below are relative to the Capo on the first fret, so
in other words, these notes are labeled as though no capo is being used, so you'd adjust
all notes up one fret for the proper labels if you cared.
The "*" indicates exactly where the Chord begins to be strummed on the particular lyric
being sung. I doubt this tab is 100% accurate but it sounds pretty close.
