Refine Me
song: Refine Me
From "Kansas", Gotee 1997
Words and music by Jennifer Knapp

This song was tabbed from start to finish because although the
chords are consistent throughout, she's always adding different
fills. It's probably not exact but we think it's pretty close.
In the meantime, don't forget the meaning behind the song...the
words are beautiful.
