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 =) Intro eb|------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-----(7)----99/11-11-11-11\9---(7)--------------------------------------| Db|------0-----xx-x--x--x--x-------0---------------------------------------| Ab|------0-----77/9--9--9---9\7----0---------------------------------------| Db|------0-----00-0--0--0--0-------0---------------------------------------| Repeat x 4 *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.

Intro x 2 *All the verses are identical in chord structure, so copying everything will only take space. I'll still give you the lyrics, though. Verse 2 db Dbflat5 Rain, another rainy day db/Bb Comes up from the ocean To give herself away Gb She comes down easy Ab On rich and dead the same db When she gives herself away Intro x 2 Chorus *On the CD I believe he goes through a picking part in the chorus which I haven't but here are the chords. It still souds decent. A quick tip: the chorus has the same basic finger structures almost the whole time. It only a matter of sliding things around.

Hope this helps!
