Daisy by Switchfoot
In my opinion this song is one of Switchfoot's finest. The way this is tabbed isn't
how Jon Foreman plays it on the CD, I admit, but it still sounds decent this way.
Tuning
Eb or Db?
Bb
Gb
Db
Ab
Db
This song can easily be played in the much more convenient drop D. The tabbing is
the same, so you don't need to worry about changing any of that. If you care about the chords,
you have to do is ignore the flats. So Db would become D and so on. The only catches are
and B, which would become F and C when "sharpened".
One last note:I think Jon Foreman may tune the 1st string, high eb, down to high db, but
not sure. I'll leave that up to you to expiriment with. Enjoy, and feel free to
=)

*The last beat in the intro is the first beat of the verse on "Daisy...".
Also, the strumming is fairly simple for the verse, so I just tabbed the chord once each
it is played. The lyrics indicate when the chords are played.

A quick tip: the chorus has the same basic finger structures almost the whole time. It
only a matter of sliding things around.
