LOVE SONG FOR A SAVIOR - Jars of Clay
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: The Count of Monte Cristo

Here is the song in E.
It feels and sounds a little more natural than all
the tabs written in G. Additionally, it's just a whole lot more
fun to play it this way.

Intro:

*C# - *B - *A
*C# - *B - *A "Ping!"
Last harmonic note on strings e, B, G. Place
your finger a little higher than the twelth fret marker,
barely touching the strings, and strum lightly. It should
ring a bit.

Verse 1:

*C# *B *A
In open fields of wild flowers,
*C# *B *A
She breathes the air and flies away.
(She thanks her Jesus for)
A2 Bsus
The daises and the roses,
C#
In no simple language,
A2 Bsus *E
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all.

Prechorus 1 (a little iffy, but sounds close):

E/G
He's more than the laughter
E/A
Or the stars in the Heavens
E/G E/A
As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips.
E/G
Some day she'll trust Him,
E/A
And learn how to see Him.
E/G E/A
Someday He'll call her, she will come running.
E/G E/A E/B
Fall in His arms, the tears will fall down and she'll sing.

Chorus:

E A2
I want to fall in love with you.
C# Bsus
I want to fall in love with you.

Interlude:

*C# - *B - *A
*C# - *B - *A

Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1, but it's
cool to just play the regular C# - Bsus - A2
riff for the verse):

Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it calls to the people
who stare into nowhere,
And can't feel the chains on their souls.

Prechorus 2 (same chords):

He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us and we will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we'll pray,

Bridge (cool to play palm muted or choppy):

C# Bsus A2
Seems to easy to call you "Savior,"
C# Bsus A2
Not close enough to call you "God,"
(So as I sit and think of)
A2 Bsus C#
Words I can mention to show my devotion,
A2 - Bsus (hang)
