---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ten Thousand - John Mark Mcmillan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the chords that the acoustic is playing during the song. Your going to have to figure out the strum pattern by yourself. The Chorus can be played with a D instead of a B but it's going to sound funny on guitar no matter what. Try it on a key board and it will fit.
