PEDESTAL BY SHERRI YOUNGWARD
transcribed by Jason Henry email: [email protected]
This song really spoke to my heart; we need to be careful to not let
others take God's place in our lives, and if we really love them like
we think we do, we need to be willing to let them go in Christ, to love
and know them as God would have us to, for only He knows our hearts and
our true needs. God bless you all!
Chords: Am C2 C9 D Em G
C2 is: 5th string 3rd fret, 4th string 2nd fret, 2nd string 3rd fret, and
1st string 3rd fret, C9 is the same except without the 1st string 3rd fret
If anyone knows what the real fingerings for C2 and C9 are please e mail
them to me, thanks!
