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!!
For The Sake Of The Call
