Afterlife: Switchfoot
Tabbed by Connor White
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're wondering how I was able to publish this tab before the album was released,
I have to go ahead and thank SwitchfootSongs on YouTube. Theyve had a bunch of the
songs from Vice Verses posted since like August which was super awesome. So ya thank
you SwitchfootSongs! Also, just listen to the song for the timing mine isnt exact.
This song is really good! Enjoy! Any corrections, comments, or questions just email
me at connor.bcw@gmail.com
Heres a link to the song on SwitchfootSongs channel:
