***Disclaimer: This is not the actual chord sheet for the song. I was playing around
with chords the other
day and thought this sounded pretty close for my ear. Always open to having this edited,
and seeing as there
were no others tabs for this song (surprising to me) I thought I'd put one up for my own
reference as well
as for anyone else who may want it. Worship.***
**You could just do the first verse a cappella, but I like the sound of the chords over
the melody line so
I've left them in the tab.**
[Verse]
