Artist: Dustin Kensrue
Song : Consider the Ravens
Tabbed by: Comrade Stukov


This is by and far one of the easiest songs to play off of dustin's solo album as 
its only 4 chords, standard tuning, and no capo. Please feel free to email any 
corrections to lockenhart@hotmail.com

Two quick note, when dustin plays his Am he likes to embelish it by hamering the 
open g string to the a, and on rollup to chorus the sequence is

E--2--3--5--
B--3--3--3--
G--2--2--2--
D--0--0--0--
A-----------
e-----------

Played slightly upbeat, to help maintain rhythm when you slap strings for beat, 
strum as you hit the guitar (little jack johnson trick)

Intro G D Am

Verse 1

G        D 
I've got bills to pay
Am        Am
Taxman on my tail
G         D
Just keep prayin' that
Am         Am
the check's in the mail

G         D
There are times it seems
Am                C 
when everything's lost
Am               C
and I'm moaning, I'm tossed
D(rollup)
and I see..

Chorus

                     Am
between the river and the ravens I'm fed
                  C
between oblivion and the blazes I'm led
      G                        D
So father give me faith, providence and grace
                 Am
Between the river and ravens I'm fed
               C                   D
Sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
                     G
and lead me in your way

Verse 2

G          D
I've grown sick and tired
Am           Am
of trying to stand still
G               D
I've learned to let the wind
Am            Am
pull me where it will

G        D
Throw myself into
Am          C
the will of the wait
Am          C
I can never be great
D(rollup)
'til we're free

Chorus

                     Am
between the river and the ravens I'm fed
                  C
between oblivion and the blazes I'm led
      G                        D
So father give me faith, providence and grace
                 Am
Between the river and ravens I'm fed
               C                   D
Sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
                     G
and lead me in your way

Bridge (Same as chorus)

Am            Am                              |
the valley of the shadow of death             |
G       D                                     |

G          D                                  |

Am        C                                   |
the glory above                               |
Am        C                                   |
Oh, your banner of love                       |
D(rollup)                                     |
flies over me                                -|

Chorus/Outro

                     Am
between the river and the ravens I'm fed
                  C
between oblivion and the blazes I'm led
      G                        D
So father give me faith, providence and grace
                 Am
Between the river and ravens I'm fed
               C                   D
Sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
                     G
and lead me in your way
               C                   D
Sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
                     G
and lead me in your way

Well there you go, keep on rockin' til the next time
