Nearer My God To Thee Tab
NEARER MY GOD TO THEE
I tabbed this from the orchestral quartet version of the hymn by Nordsee. Elvis
sings it too. It’s really pretty and is supposedly the piece played by that quartet on the
as it sank (or they did in the movie anyway ☺). This is my first tab but it’s
accurate I think. Let me know what you think!
