They tottaly ruined this song on the electric. Otherwise great tab!
Later


Jarrod October 12, 2003, 4:57 

I agree with Andrew, their new cd sucks ass. They shouldve stuck with classical acoustic folk-emo.


Johnny P October 14, 2003, 20:52 

All well if you 2 didn't like it you dont have to dis dem i mea they do wat they like.And they have courage for doing that.I hope they keep going in this direction....Paz por ahoy


Cim October 18, 2003, 17:48 

ruined shmooined. I like the new electric sound and they can go far this way. You guys sound like you are worried they will become sell-outs. one guitar is cool sounding, but don't dis them because they are trying a different sound using more instruments...THE way MUSIC is meant to be played!

Qurius October 29, 2003, 0:09 

acoustics with a good voice like his is better, thats music,electric is fun but for good music u go acoustic!!!!!!!!!!


manny November 2, 2003, 2:25 

this tab is poor at best.....if ur not going to tab correctly dont bother at all yo


Jordan November 6, 2003, 22:47 

I have to say that though I don't like all the songs they play on electric, I must commend them for trying out something new. The whole point of making music is not to make music for popularity (aka sellouts) but to make music that you like playing and playing it for yourself. I think as muscians we should all recognize this. Please email me if you do not like my message.


jordanreed November 24, 2003, 18:44 

Brilliant minds will always be brilliant. he was brilliant with further seems forever, he was brilliant with just him and his guitar, he is brilliant with his new sound, he knows how to write good music and that will never change. I love em.


g-unit November 24, 2003, 23:31 

well i dont see nothing wrong with their new cd!!! electric and acoustic are both good!!! and if u dont like the electric then ur not a true dashboard fan!!!!!!!!!!!!
lata


Ed November 29, 2003, 4:17 

i think that acoustic sounds better than electric in this song, but electric is still great. this song rocks!
-cya


the matt story December 24, 2003, 9:54 

you know it isnt very easy to have a kicken live show with a guy sitting on a stool with his Guild guitar. Those were the old days. The electic is cool because it makes the shows alot more lively.....and crowded!!!


J December 24, 2003, 20:06 

I agree with Ed. The acoustic is better... but the electric sounds good too. The song is just awesome!


justin December 28, 2003, 11:11 

the outro on this tab is wrong, it goes like this:
-----------
-----------
6-6-9-8
6-7-9-9
4-7-7-9
--5-0-7 each chord strum 8 times


Mark January 26, 2004, 19:59 

Dashboard Fuckin Rules


Cait February 2, 2004, 22:33 

I think all this "theyre becoming sellouts" thing is a load of garbage, music is music. A band is a band. Theyre liked because theyre talented. Theyre doing it for themselves. Deal with it. Youre not the only person who is allowed to like Dashboard.
-DASHBOARD RULES!


fliz March 18, 2004, 14:47 

the real intro is
E-----------------------------
B-----------------------------
G-----------------------------
D--------6----------6-7-------
A-----9---7------9--------9/11
E-0-7--------0-7-------0-7----
and repeat

and the sliding chord thing at the end of the palm muted progression goes like this
E-------------------
B-------------------
G-------------------
D-7-7-7-7/6-6-6-6---
A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---
E-------------------


albert April 20, 2004, 20:33 

THey are sellouts he should OF STAYED WITH FURTHER SEEMS FOREVER BUT OH WELL HE STILL HAS A WONDERFUL VOICE


Micah May 8, 2004, 23:06 

ok if u dont like da electric version den go to som kine downloading system (lime wire da best for windows) and look for da acoustic version


omar May 22, 2004, 23:45 

Hey chris carraba is a great musician his lyrics totaly rock the electric and acoustic both sound awesome so don't hate


jobu June 2, 2004, 4:52 

to justin: the first chord in the outro should be a C#m not a C#5

to fliz: he actually plays the intro by playing the E then moving up to the A string to play the next notes, if you listen to it the low E is ringing out while he plays the rest of the riff


jobu June 2, 2004, 4:54 

p.s. this song rocks out on both versions, how can you even choose between them which is better...props to chris for writing a kick ass song....ciao baby


jobu July 9, 2004, 2:04 

im just kidding this song sucks ass


jim July 19, 2004, 3:59 

cool!


carlos perez July 22, 2004, 13:14 


Their new cd...well, not new, but their latest cd is awesome...if u don't like it, then oh well, don't dis them cuz they don't deserve that crap..DC is amazing and if you're a true DC fan, it wwouldn't matter to you if they play electric or acoustic, I, myself, am a guitarist..and I give them all the respect in the world for trying new things with their music!! Definitely NOT sellouts!!! ~later

Dashboard rocks!! it wass the first song my boyfriend and i listened to together, and it is what made us fall for eachother. Hands Down is the best song! the accoustic is awesome. it tells a story...


Ally November 1, 2004, 14:55 

I think you hurt Dashboard's feelings.....I can't believe you guys said all that mean stuff about them... GOSH! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE! YOU BIG FAT poopy STINKY meany BULLY DuMbHeAdS!

...Just kidding...Pick on someone who gives a shit.


Miles December 6, 2004, 16:39 

They are definently a good band, but now they are just trying to be "in the scene". He should have just stuck with him and his ol' acustic...... The way it should be....


Rob December 12, 2004, 6:18 

this is the best ya!


aa mad December 30, 2004, 2:42 

dashboard still equals good band, they haven't yet become sellouts, give them a while. my vote is for the acoustic. will someone tell me why the tuning is half step down in stead of just playing everything one fret lower?


Chris December 30, 2004, 19:24 

When you use the song as playalong, then you'll recognize that your chords are totally wrong...
Try to play it in a way like this:
In the chorus you play:
Eb / G / Ab / G / B / H
And in the refrain play :
Eb / C / Ab / B (and if you want an H)
I haven't already tabbed the Intro, but I'll try to find out soon. You can use this tab as elektric and acoustic version!!!


charlie March 21, 2005, 0:20 

everyone who hates the electric
version, just download the
acoustic.


Andrew G April 10, 2005, 5:35 

This tab is wrongggggg...

Eb----------------------------------------------------------------------

Db------4-6--2-----4---------4/6-------4---2-----4-----------4/6-----
Ab----2---------2---------2----------2----------2----------2----------
Eb--0---------0---------0----------0----------0----------0------------


DJ June 18, 2005, 19:18 

Dashboard is good so you shouldn't care whether or not they go a little more electric if your a true fan, it's their album and they can do what they want with it. But if you think you can do better i'd like to see you try



Chris December 25, 2005, 5:13 

DJ is right... All you ppl who are dissing Dashboard for experimenting w/ electric guitar and a new sound are fuckin stupid... its called free artistic expression... an artist can do whatever the hell they want and do what sounds good to them... they dont exist simply to please you...


Alli February 6, 2006, 4:30 

Yeah! Dashboard confessional rockk!
