Box Car Racer - Watch The World - Acoustic guitar tab
**I found a video of Tom playing Watch the World on an acoustic guitar, and it
sounded amazing when he played it. It's not the whole song; it's only an intro,
the first verse, and the pre-chorus. Still, it sounds great. Here's a link for
the video: http://english.blink182.ru/video.shtml--the video is at the very,
very bottom of the page. I seriously recommend you download this video and
learn how to play the song.

Like I said, it?s just a very short clip of the song. Still, it?s probably the
best song I?ve ever heard Tom play acoustic. Also, the intro sounds a lot like
the intro for ?there is?...I don?t know what?s going on there, but that?s how
he plays the intro in this song. I tabbed this song out completely by ear, and
I?m almost certain that there?s no other tab for this particular version of
?watch the world? on the internet. Feel free to IM me (aim sn dontsnatchmavrck)
and tell me what you thought about this tab...or just IM me to talk about farts
and poop; it really doesn?t matter to me.
