Chords

There is a marked lack of tabs (or chords) for this song online, so I decided to try my hand at a transcription. I used this for a guitar class at my University. This is the picking pattern I use, the beats appearing on the top two rows and the fingerings on the bottom two: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 / .(/). / .(/). / 4 23 4 4 23 4 4 1 1 1 1 1 In the actual recording, the pattern changes from verse to chorus, but I haven't yet figured it out. The above transcription is truly only half of the verse fingering, but I play it throughout and it sounds good enough, if not entirely authentic. Gungor himself is much more melodic in his playing; but this chord sheet should fit the bill until a more talented guitarist comes along and improves it. Happy Playing! Please Be My Strength Gungor Verse 1
     Bm                F#m          F#            G
I've tried to stand my ground, I've tried to understand

But I can't seem to find my faith again				

     Bm           F#m      F#              G				
Like water on the sand, or grasping at the wind			

G         D          A  /						
I keep on falling short, so

    Bm            F#m         F#             G
I'm looking for a place where I can plant my faith

G           D        A     Bm
One thing I know for sure-

Bm           F#m     F#          G
I can not create it, I can not sustain it

It's Your love that's keeping me
(Chorus 1) (Interlude) Verse 3
    Bm          F#m      F#              G
And at my final breath I hope that I can say 

  G               D           A    /
I fought the good fight of faith

  Bm              F#m           F#                G
I pray Your glory shine in this doubting heart of mine

And all would know that You
