This song is pretty easy to play, it's just that there
are some parts which are hard to hear. Feel free to post

mostly good

I talked to Jonathan of Hawk Nelson last night at the concert in Minneapolis and he informed me that they play everything in drop C# tunning. Just thought I'd mention that to be helpful to all.
njsk8rboy - 2005-03-24
true they do use drop c# on ALL of their songs except maybe from underneath
