Nothing real fancy here, but I recommend playing with the song to get the timings and rhythm down.


INTRO - No bass, although if you feel like playing here, play the Verse 2 riff.

Repeat once, without the slide at the beginning.


PRECHORUS 1 - I like to transition to the Prechorus by sliding down from the last verse F note.

BRIDGE - No bass, not a good call by Audio Adrenaline, IMHO.  However, here's something you can do.  
         Come in on "If not us, tell me who will be..."

G|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3|
B|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Stop the last note right on the snare drum hit.


CHORUS 3 - Goes acapella, then after "When we love the least of these." everything jumps back in.

G|-----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
E|-1-1-1-3-3-3-5-5-5-7-7-7-8---|-----------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-----------------|
B|-----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|

Repeat x2, then end on this.

G|-----------------------------|
D|-----------------------------|
A|--------------------------3~~|
E|-1-1-1-3-3-3-5-5-5-7-7-7-8---|
B|-----------------------------|

PERFORMANCE NOTES

TUNING - You may find it easier to play this song with the E string tuned up to F.  If you do that,
         just move all E string notes down a half-step, or one fret.

PRECHORUSES - Just to clarify things, VERSE 1 is played with all notes being eighth notes, while 
              both PRECHROUS 1 & 2 are played with all notes being quarter notes to save space.  
              If you listen to the song, you will see what I'm talking about.

CHORUS 3 - This chorus makes things fancier by adding a scale to the beginning of each repetition,
           which builds from F up to C on the E string.  Since the next note is C on the A string, you
           can just stay on the E String and move back down to F from there.  Then when you go back to
           C, you can jump to the A string if you want to.  I personally think it sounds similar
           enough that it doesn't really matter, except on the final ending C that you have to hold for
           awhile.  For that, I recommend playing the C on the A string, as the sound decays at a 
           slower rate than C on the E string.
