Not By Power Chords & Tabs
ATS is so awesome and so is their version of this song! I believe that
this tab is very accurate, or at least it suits me just fine. This is
how I play it when my praise band plays the song. I left out the verse
only because I was too lazy to transcribe it and because I personally
don’t play it myself- just strum the verse chords or take a little break.
Email me if you have any questions and/or comments.
