Switchfoot - Let Your Love Be Strong Chords & Tabs

Beautiful song by Jon Foreman, my first tab ever.


Certain chords may be hard to reach for some people, so you can opt to play
the notes that I've put in the parentheses instead of the difficult notes.

The rhythm isn't really that straightforward in this song... all you have to do is keep listening
to the track and trying it yourself.  Best of luck.

Live, Jon does the 5b-2b-0 in this part - in one video he does 4b-2b-0--|

Chorus
You can either strum these chords on each beat - like the recorded version, or you can
fingerpick them like the verses - the way Jon plays it live. I prefer the picking
