------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dustin Email: [email protected] Casting Crowns did a video explaining how they play this song, but it wasn't very easy to follow, so I decided to sit down and tab it out (link to their video: As explained in the video, the track version is played in A and the live version in Ab. However, in the video they used the key of G, which is what I have tabbed out below. Use capo 2 to play alongside the studio version of the song.

(Em7)(Cadd9)(G5) [Intro]
                      Em
We were made to be courageous

                         C
We were made to lead the way

                    G
We could be the generation

                          D
That finally breaks the chains

                      C  G  Em  D
We were made to be courageous

                      C  G   D (Let Ring)
We were made to be courageous
[Verse 1]
                        Em
We were warriors on the front lines

             C
Standing, unafraid

                              G
But now we're watchers on the sidelines

                         D
While our families slip away

                      Em
Where are you, men of courage?

                          C
You were made for so much more

                        G
Let the pounding of our hearts cry

                  D
We will serve the Lord
[Chorus]
                      C
We were made to be courageous

          G               D
And we're taking back the fight

                      C
We were made to be courageous

       Em               G
And it starts with us tonight

         C              G
The only way we'll ever stand

          Em                D
Is on our knees with lifted hands

           C  G  Em  D
Make us courageous

                 C  G  D
Lord, make us courageous
[Verse 2]
                Em
This is our resolution

                  C
Our answer to the call

                           G
We will love our wives and children

                      D
We refuse to let them fall

                     Em
We will reignite the passion

                      C
That we buried deep inside

                        G
May the watchers become warriors

                    D
Let the men of God arise
[Chorus]
                      C
We were made to be courageous

          G               D
And we're taking back the fight

                      C
We were made to be courageous

       Em               G
And it starts with us tonight

         C              G
The only way we'll ever stand

          Em                D
Is on our knees with lifted hands

           C  G  Em  D

(Seek justice, love mercy
Walk humbly with your God)
