Author/Artist: Third Eye Blind Title: My Hit and Run Album: Out of the Vein Transcribed by: Thomas Dillard Email: cerberus_327@yahoo.com Here is the way that I play Hit and Run. Its kind of hard to sing and play the intro/verse part, so you can use chords if you want to. I wrote this tab from the AOL acoustic version and the studio version. I can' get the chorus part exact, so I just strum chords during the chorus. The Breakdown and Intro/Verse is almost 99% correct. The End of the transition is shady though. During the short Bass interlude after the 3rd chorus, I just hold out the A chord. There are a two sets of 16th note triplets in the Breakdown. The easiest way to get these down is to listen to how they are played on either of the recordings (AOL or Studio).
