Tag is the exact same as the chorus, but with a different rhythm. It’s fair easy to
figure out though, and it only goes through the progression once before the Bb, B, C
re-intro to the second verse.
Verse Two
Guitar 1.
Pretty much the same as the first verse, except there’s a cut of sorts and goes straight
to the Bb right after the Bb-B-C re-intro. It’s quite cool, listen to the track for the
exact timings

Guitar Two
This also does something kinda cool, it starts second time through the Verse and works
its way up the octave as tabbed below.

Tag Twice through this time. F, C, Am, G for both guitars
Bridge

Then we move up the fretboard on this little scale type thing. The chords for this can
be found on my profile, under my I’m Gonna Praise chords tab.

Then back to the tag. It’s the same, but it’s just stabs, and you’ll have to watch out
for the quick Dm, E, F thing mid way through it. Apart from that, it’s a fairly simple
song, just listen to the track and you’ll be sweet.
Speaking of tracks, a friend of mine has made a sick track for this song. I’ll post his
profile below, as well as my email if you have any questions. Don’t hesitate to email me
and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
