------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURAGEOUS - Casting Crowns ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dustin Email: djhunsin@gmail.com 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!
