I Don't know the name for the G chord I'm gonna describe. I'll Call it G alt. just for
the purpose of this tab so you know what Chord I mean when I say that. It looks like this.
E|---3
B|---3
G|---0
D|---0
A|---2
E|---3
Basically, it's just a varation on G, but it's different from the straight G chord. It
isn't hard to play, just add your 3rd finger on the 3rd fret of the B string. That's all
that changes. It's what Skillet plays in the song, but again, I don't know if there's a
real name for it or not. Same thing applies to what I called Em-Alt. it's the same as an
Em, but with those 2 fingers on the 3rd frets of the hi-E and B strings.
