Consider The Ravens Tab

by Dustin Kensrue


Artist: Dustin Kensrue
Song : Consider the Ravens


This is by and far one of the easiest songs to play off of dustin's solo album as 

Two quick note, when dustin plays his Am he likes to embelish it by hamering the 
open g string to the a, and on rollup to chorus the sequence is

E--2--3--5--
B--3--3--3--
G--2--2--2--
D--0--0--0--
A-----------
e-----------

Played slightly upbeat, to help maintain rhythm when you slap strings for beat, 
strum as you hit the guitar (little jack johnson trick)

Intro   

Verse 1

         
I've got bills to pay
        
Taxman on my tail
         
Just keep prayin' that
         
the check's in the mail

         
There are times it seems
                 
when everything's lost
               
and I'm moaning, I'm tossed
(rollup)
and I see..

Chorus

                     
between the river and the ravens I'm fed
                  
between oblivion and the blazes I'm led
                              
So father give me faith, providence and grace
                 
Between the river and ravens I'm fed
                                  
Sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
                     
and lead me in your way

Verse 2

          
I've grown sick and tired
           
of trying to stand still
               
I've learned to let the wind
            
pull me where it will

        
Throw myself into
          
the will of the wait
          
I can never be great
(rollup)
'til we're free

Chorus

                     
between the river and the ravens I'm fed
                  
between oblivion and the blazes I'm led
                              
So father give me faith, providence and grace
                 
Between the river and ravens I'm fed
                                  
Sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
                     
and lead me in your way

Bridge (Same as chorus)


Verse 3

                                           -|
Although I'm walking through                  |
                                          |
the valley of the shadow of death             |
                                            |
evils all around                              |
                                          |
It's coming from the right and the left       |
                                              |palm muted section
                                            |
Trust that I will see                         |
                                           |
the glory above                               |
                                           |
Oh, your banner of love                       |
(rollup)                                     |
flies over me                                -|

Chorus/Outro

                     
between the river and the ravens I'm fed
                  
between oblivion and the blazes I'm led
                              
So father give me faith, providence and grace
                 
Between the river and ravens I'm fed
                                  
Sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
                     
and lead me in your way
                                  
Sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
                     
and lead me in your way

Well there you go, keep on rockin' til the next time
