Formed in Dayton, Ohio in 2001. Playing from the start on self-booked tours across the country gave them some initial national exposure, but they weren't signed to Victory Records until late 2003.
Hawthorne Heights developed a huge MySpace following that became a catalyst that would launch them from underground to international awareness. The band became regulars on MTV, their signature hit Ohio Is For Lovers the anthem for the new wave of “emo”.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
There's a little piano part in the pre-chorus, I just play something like this to imitate it while still strumming:
G#m* E e|-4---4---------------0---| B|-4---4---------------0---| G|-4---4--6-6-6-6h8---1---| D|-6---6--6-6-6-6-6----2---| A|-6---6--6-6-6-6-6----2---| E|-4---4---------------0---| look for the "G#m* E" for when to play it. You don't have to though, sounds almost as good just playing a normal G#m.
