May Your Wonders Never Cease

Song: May Your Wonders Never Cease Artist: Third Day Album: OFFERINGS II: ALL I HAVE TO GIVE Copyright 2003 Consuming Fire Music/ASCAP 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?t=50979 or try powertabs.net (at this point I have not submitted it there).
