Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me Tabbed by Dave Antymis Standard Tuning These are the chords that I play. Good song for acoustic solo because you don't need all the other instruments if you play these chords. A few variations on A chords (I called them A* and A**) and the e and B string can be left open the whole time.

The song is played in 8/6 time. It sounds good if you play 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ but as long as you keep your hand moving it doesn't matter. Listen to the song and you'll get the idea. Each | | represents a measure with 6 beats(12 if you're counting 1+2+3...) Most chords lie on 1st and 4th.
