Walk Off the Earth is an indie rock band which formed in Burlington, Ontario, Canada in 2006. The band consists of Gianni Luminati, Joel Cassady, Sarah Blackwood, (former) Mike Taylor and (former) Ryan Marshall. Blackwood was also a member of the psychobilly band The Creepshow.
The band has gained success around the world by making low-budget music videos of covers and originals and built their fan base independently with no help from record labels, booking agents or management.
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!
Here are the chords for this awesome song by WOTE. Hopefully this is vaguely correct. It's my first tab so please be gentle.
The one concern I have is the Am7/G chord in the verse. I've watched live footage of the band and noticed that Ryan releases his 3rd finger from the Am chord and plays the 3rd fret on the E string (or at least it sounds like it), thus making (I believe), an Am7/G chord. I'm still getting to grips with the lesser known chords, so any assistance would be welcomed. How I've interpreted the chord should be below.
Listen to the song for rhythm and to try and figure out what I mean regarding the chord itself
As I say, I don't think it's perfect, but it may be a start for someone to improve on. Any comments, criticisms and feedback would be most welcome to [email protected]
Enjoy. :)
