I am Second - Newsboys
Tabbed by: cramboneUSF

Notes:
This is a simple tab that may not be 100% correct but I did not see it anywhere else on
the Internet so I figured it out as best I could.  I didn't try the intro or anything
because I am strictly a rhythm guitar player :).  This tab is written for a distorted 
rhythm guitar and is meant to be played with power chords so I honestly don't know if some of
these chords are minors or majors.  But hey, you're only playing the root, fifth and 
octave so it really doesn't matter, does it?!?!

Anyway, if it's wrong don't shoot the messenger.  This is an awesome song that has a
good message so enjoy!

Of note - I play the F up on the neck (high) instead of the open (low) position because
it sounds more like the recording.
