A New Hallelujah

These tabs are based on how I play and are not meant to be exact with MWS's authentic 
Consider that while you are rating it, please and thank you. Check out the "key" and chord 
on the bottom for things that may confuse you. I use strictly power chords on the 
electric for this song.

Standard Tuning

Intro chords: F#,G (it's a quick change from the F# to the G; the F# actually gets only 
beginning note of each measure, then the rest are G)

Guitar Riff:

e|---------------------------|
B|---------------------------|
G|---------7---7----5-4~~~---|
D|-----/5-5---5--5-----------|
A|---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|

I play that riff throughout the first verse.

Palm mute for verses but not the chorus.

Verse 1:

G
Can you hear, there's a new song

Breaking out from the children of freedom

Every race and every nation

Sing it out sing a new Hallelujah


Guitar Riff


Verse 2:

G
Let us sing love to the nations

Bringing hope of the grace that has freed us

Make Him known and make Him famous

Sing it out sing a new Hallelujah


Chorus:

C
Arise
                G
Let the church Arise
     C                        G
Let love reach to the other side
E            C
Alive come alive

(Let the C chord ring)
Let the song Arise

Verse 3:
G
Africa sings a new song

Reaching out with the new Hallelujah

Every son and every daughter
      E                  C  G
Everyone sing a new Hallelujah


Chords:
