Tabbed by: _rycly ('s mate Jake)
E-mail: ryan@springmountyouth.com

Notes: Not the easiest to play (for a worship track), but definitely worth the effort. 
Joel and T-Bird really mess around with this, and variate from the tab, so just listen to 
it. Massive thanks to my friend Jake who worked this out originally.

Tuning: Standard
Capo: 9th Fret (Yes, 9th fret)


At 9th fret, the chords are C, Am and F (but they moved when I tabbed this). Fingering 
those shapes helps get the fingerpicking correct.

(by now I'm normally just strumming chords, but feel free to play something similar to 
the chorus)



I hope this helps. I appreciate any feedback you have.
