American Dream Switchfoot
I play this song in Drop D though it’s probably played in E.
It still sounds the same.

on the last round play it hard)

Guitar 2 (or 1, playing it with his lower fingers
while he strums the main power chords) plays this
after each chord strum starting on the third B progression:
G [--11--11--11--11--4--4--4--4-] D [--11--11--11--11--4--4--4--4-]
End when they return to the final ‘B’ power chord progression (the fourth B).

And then:
