Tabbed by: Dustin

Forward: This is my first guitar tab. Casting Crowns did a youtube video explaining how
they play this song but it
wasn't incredibly easy to follow so I decided to sit down and tab it out (link to their video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDmkIXrthwE). As they explain in the video, they track
version of Courageous is
played in A and live they play it in Ab. However, in this video they used the key of G
which is what I have tabbed
out below. For this reason, playing this tab along with the studio version of the song
will not sound the same.
Additionally, I'm not sure if the chord names are technically correct but for simplicity
of reference I call them
by the names below. Please let me know if I need to make any corrections. Enjoy!
