Steven Curtis Chapman - For The Sake Of The Call guitar chord

This is the live Abbey Road version abstract and it is the best I can

come up with. I typed it down following the order of the song as in

the video, so you don't see the full version of the song. For better

understanding of what has been written, listen back to the video and

try to play along. The key I'm playing is in E major with normal/std.

tuning. Steven plays it a semitone to a tone lower (Eb - D). Try it

out anyway. Please have mercy on the names that I have given for the

chords below. They are my own given names for my own guide. Enjoy

playing the song and e-mail me for any queries if you want to.

God Bless!!
