From the album Every Time I Breathe
You'll have to listen for timing on recording.
General Comments:
(1) This song is in unfavorable keys both F#(Gb) and G#(Ab),unless an electric guitar is nearby :)
(2) Generally in the verse, bridge and chorus, the F# major chord is alternated between F major and F sus4
(3) One idea would be to transpose this piece to G major and A major, respectively to make it simplier, and easier to remember.
(4) What seemingly seems like an easy song is not so...At least the way Big Daddy Weave treats this old Maranatha song....
5 I've probably made a few mistakes so I'll try to make an update ASAP.
(6) I hope the formating works correctly :)
