------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beloved – Tenth Avenue North ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This song was written as a love song from God to us. In the Bible He uses the analogy a man and an adulterous bride. We keep running to other "lovers", like wealth, and and sin, and human relationships. We aren't just disobeying God, we are cheating on a But God keeps pursuing us all the same. Tenth Avenue North did a wonderful job writing song. In that context, here it is: Capo 4 (or three, to play with the album version) Tuning: Tune B string down to A (E A D G A e) This is the way Mike plays it acoustically and solo at shows. I got it from the video which is Mike himself showing us how he plays it. I’m pretty sure this is 100% right, I could always be wrong. :) All fingerings and chords are relative to the capo. So when you see 7, you’re actually on the 11th fret. (guitarforgod124). I'm planning on posting a cover of this song as well as a tutorial So, good luck! :D Chords: (I’m in music theory, so I like to have the actual chord names...just ignore if you want to lol. I made up easier names to call the chords when I put them with the words.) (A A/F# C#m7b6 Dadd9 Gadd9add13 Eadd11 Asus Eadd11) A A2 C# D G E A* E* e|---0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0---| A|---0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0---| G|---2-------2-------6-------7-------0-------1(2)----2-------1---| D|---2-------2-------6-------7-------5-------2-------0-------2---| A|---0-------X-------4-------5-------5-------2-------0-------0---| E|---X-------2-------X-------X-------3-------0-------X-------X---| On the E chord, he places his pinky down on the second fret of the G string sometimes, then goes back to the regular chord. Watch his video to get a feel for it. I marked it putting a (2) over the places where you do this.

Make sure you mute the bottom two strings with your finger though, so it has a higher sound and sounds different from the rest of the chords. Verse 1: A Love of my life, A2 Look deep in my eyes... C# D There you will find what you need. A Give me your life, A2 The lust and the lies; C# D The past you're afraid I might see. G E (2) (E) You've been running away from me.
