Tabbed by scheller sonnyschell@hotmail.com
I tabbed this out with Powertab and it is pretty extensive. In order to
make this simple and shorter, I'll leave out the minor things and just
give the main riffs and solo. The two guitars (Gtr I, II) used in the
verses, chorus, and part of the solo are capo 5. I recommend you getting
the Powertab file for this song that I did either here:
http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/showthread.php?t50979 or try
powertabs.net (at this point I have not submitted it there).

the part above is a bend that is held and played. So where it
has 20 means the string is fretted on the 20th but bent up a whole step
