So I noticed nobody has taken the tiny bit of time it takes to make this tab and I
to make it. Yah this is a pretty sweet song, but it requires some skill. I think I
play it better than tobyMAC does, but hey, the band's doin their best! I'll try to make
easy for all yall guitarists who aren't yet at my level... Get the rhythm from the
duh.

So yah that's most of the song, just repeated in different places. Don't e-mail me
it's really important (I have a life, I don't spend all day checking my e-mail), but you
post comments on the site (preferably helpful comments-- who likes reading hate-mail?).
K Bye.
