The Overcomer
by the Peter Furler Band
Most of the song is in
standard tuning, but the verses
have a riff using the low E
string tuned down to B.
Here it is from the beginning:
e|---------|

D|---------|
A|---------|
E|---222---| 6X

E|---222---| 2X
Repeat all three parts twice
while following the first verse.
You repeat it twice again for the
second verse. There are no chords
played in the verses, so I will
leave those areas blank. I will
provide the chords in the verses
that weren't played in the original
song for all of you acoustic
players.

just step outside

where the odds are long

and the enemy’s strong
C#
can it be overcome?

Why fight it

C#
And if love is the motive
