i don't have one of those cool distortion boxes, but i listened many times over to get
 the notes right... this is pretty much exact.  except in some of the power chords you
might want to strum a few more times than shown, i just didn't have space to put the
extra ones in ;)  let me know how it sounds with the right distortion setting.

i think that does it.
i tried to map the whole thing out so it's all there, but if you cut and paste you can probably get the parts you need on one sheet of paper if you want to do that.  this is my first tab, hope it works.  if there's any error or you just want to say hi, please email me at aquafire@ucsd.edu
thanks!  oh, and Switchfoot rocks!!!
