Not By Power
by All Together Separate
Ardent Records
Written by John Chisum and Gary Sadler (Integrity Hosanna)
Tabbed by Alex Harris (axmanjr@yahoo.com)
ATS is so awesome and so is their version of this song! I believe that
this tab is very accurate, or at least it suits me just fine. This is
how I play it when my praise band plays the song. I left out the verse
only because I was too lazy to transcribe it and because I personally
don’t play it myself- just strum the verse chords or take a little break.
Email me if you have any questions and/or comments.
NOTE: ‘h’ – hammer-on
~ - vibrato
( ) - hold note
INTRO: with dist and phaser effect
