OK, guys, This tab I have made
before and posted it- so
I'm going to try again. It's
what they play live but
it can go both ways so don't
rate low just because it's different
actually play it and see how it is
before you give me 1,2, or 3 stars
here we go
Only Hope
Switchfoot
Key
/= slide
( _ ) play to make more realistic or if u want 2
That's really it...

*= I'm not too sure about the chord so I marked it as the root
Ok guys, while you strum these chords during the bridge and chorus play them kinda muted
some places and alternate from playing mostly the only high notes and only the low ones
INTRO/MAIN RIFF/ VERSES
E------3--------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----0-(0)----0------------------------3-----3----3------------------|
G--1/2---3---------------2-------------0-0---0-0--0-------(4)---------|

A------------------1/2----------2--2/3-----------3---3-2--------------|
E----------3------------------0------------3--------------------------|
If you are playing with your fingers,
on those A string notes get your thumb really under
the string and pluck it,
it makes it sound more like
how Jon (I think the lead guy is Jon...wait
a second... yeah- It's Jon) plays it.
And the timing/ playing
is like 1, 123 1, 123 etc,
but once you get to the 3, 030 part it's:
1, 23,4, 1, 23,4 etc.
The verses are sung while playing the main riff
CHORUS (live version)
E Esus4 A
So I lay my head back down
E Esus4 A (C9)
And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours
A Em

strumming pattern:
d dudu dudu du dudu dudu, etc.

LYRICS
VERSE 1
There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake and in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over and over again
CHORUS
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands And pray to be only yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope
VERSE 2
Sing to me of the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing and layghing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again
BRIDGE
I give You my apathy
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back
That's it, the complete and awesome only hope tab by me, awsomeguitarguy- help keep the
rock out, and have fun
