Nada Surf – Inside of Love (acoustic)
Tabbed from their live performance on tvnoir.de, and with some help from mbanaria’s and
pourn’s versions of the album tab. This is a different version then what's already out there, and some of
the "over-lap" parts with the studio version are tabbed more accurately here.
Capo 2
Verse 1
You can get the rhythm from listening to the song. He strums the full chord every time; the tab is just meant
to show you the shape and movements he’s playing.

* I admittedly am unsure about this transition chord. It’s hard to tell where his fingers are going,
though I’m sure of the root note (Eb). I welcome suggestions!

* The low F# on this chord might only be from the bass. If playing this solo (my interpretation),
then play it to add some depth and nuance.
