This is the song I am playing at our church Christmas play in December. This is also my
first tab, so go easy on me please! Most tabs will say this song is in the key of A or
C, but those are the live versions; the real version that I am tabbing out is in the key
of B major to match the album. It's mostly power chords, and it shouldn't be that hard.
Verse x2: palm-mute these chords when you strum them, slightly opening the sound up near
the end of the verse.

Repeat verse x1, pre-chorus & chorus:
Bridge:
Same thing as chorus, just palm-muted:
Repeat chorus a few more times:
Thanks for reading my first tab! Atr the end of the song, there's this whole orchestra
part, which despite sounding amazing, has no guitar, so it's not tabbed.
Key:
-=don't play this string.
