Born Again-Third Day
Album: Revelation
Tabbed by: Sara Walker
Standard Tuning
This is a great Third Day song! The entire song is four chords G, D, Em, and C.
I tabbed out the strumming pattern the way I play it and some of the electric guitar
parts. I think it’s pretty accurate. This is my first tab so I hope it makes sense. Feel
free to rate/comment.

VERSE:

but I don’t have those tabbed out.)

Well today I found myself, after searching all these years.

And the man that I saw, he wasn’t at all who I thought it’d be.

Well I was lost when you found me here, and I was broken beyond repair.
Em C
Then you came along and you sang a song over me.

For the very first time, for the very first time in my life.

Make a promise to me now. Reassure my heart somehow,

G D
I have a feeling in my soul, and I pray that I’m not wrong
