Steven Curtis Chapman - I Do Believe guitar tab

I Do Believe

Steven Curtis Chapman

Album: Speechless

C1999 Sparrow Song/Peach Hill/BMI

Tabbed by Steve Cruickshank

This song is played in dropped-D and tuned down half a step, however

theres no reason why you cant play it in standard (it'll just sound

half a step higher than on the CD), but the riff pretty much requires

the low string to be dropped. All the chords written below are with

the tuning change as well.
