• Song:

    Watch The World - Acoustic

  • Artist:

    Boxcar Racer

**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.
