It's pretty much that progression the entire time, When it sounds like a surf
rock song he is playing the bass notes really fast. Listen to song for timing.
Enjoy!!

| Fbar58 - 2004-10-07 | you tabbed it upside down btw
|
| projectcrossing - 2004-10-10 | | Thanks for the comments, Yes i just realized it is upside-down. That second like where it says "4-4-4" its only supposed to be "4-4" Other than that it should be ok, the solo might be a little off. |
| RcKn'Rll247 - 2004-10-12 | solo is correct, but you did forget a little ditty that he does after that... but it was just a part out of the solo, so it wasn't hard
|
| melz_rkfan - 2004-10-13 | | double ditto to checkin out rk's new stuf...and all their stuf! rk is cool as!!! |
| JJ2004 - 2004-10-13 | | we want different chords for this song, in a different key. |
| ascension - 2004-10-15 | the intro is all on the D string like this
G|-44-8\6-4-44-8h9p8-44-8\6-4-44-8h9p8-6h8-4- |
| ascension - 2004-10-15 | the intro is all on the D string like this
D|-44-8\6-4-44-8h9p8-44-8\6-4-44-8h9p8-6h8-4- |
| rcman - 2004-12-14 | hey good job it is almost alright good job!!!!

| guitarguy1020 - 2004-12-23 | relient k's new stuff is the bomb cant wait till they come to town.dude!
|
| tfk_rawks23 - 2005-01-03 | | Dude thats good. Hawk Nelson rocks! |
| $L!CK - 2005-01-07 | Right after the solo, there's a little "surf" guitar riff. I noticed no one had it posted so here it is.
It's all on the big E string so start on the 10th or 11th fret and slide up to the 2nd fret then,
E|-22222222222222222222222222-7777777777777-999999999999
Use repeating picking kinda like in the "beach boy's song wipeout"
Figure out the timing, it's the same as the chords. I hope this tab helps, I'm an ok guitarist and i've only had like 2 or 3 years worth of expirence. but i truly hope this helps someone.

| guitarhockeyman - 2005-01-14 | | Why is everyone raving about RK on a Hawk Nelson tab???? Does anyone know if Hawk Nelson are actually christian? I had a feeling they were but hey, nice tab dude. Whoever tabbed the slide, that's cool. It's like one of the best guitar parts in the song besides the solo. =) |
| $L!CK - 2005-01-18 | Thanks for the compliment dude! oh and I'm 99% sure hawk nelson is christian. and Reliant K does rock and so does kutless!!! check out their website it's really awesome!

| luvgodluvpeople - 2005-11-24 | | hawk nelson is christian b/c they were on a christian music channel and they just are trying to reach the people who aren't christians. |
