Daisy Tab by Switchfoot

Daisy tab by Switchfoot

Guitar Tab

Tuning:
Db Ab Db F Ab Eb (album)
D  A  D  F# A E   (live)
Switchfoot doesn't play this song live very often because the tuning is so annoying
to get in and out of. I tabbed this mostly from aftershow videos on youtube, like
this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yw-G7uqyxY where you can hear him tune
his guitar up. There may be the odd discrepancy as I couldn't find a video with a
really clear view of his fingers, but I think this is more or less accurate.

Verse 2:(repeat verse 1 chords)
Pain, give yourself a name
Call yourself contrition,
Avarice or blame
Giving isn't easy
And neither is the rain
When she gives herself away

Daisy, why another day
Why another sunrise
Who will take the blame
For all redemptive motion
And every rainy day
When He gives Himself away
