------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: E-mail: [email protected] Hey guys, Josh here. Just wanted to tab out this new song, Touch the Sky by Hillsong United, since it's come to be very popular. I would love to hear some feedback, so rate/comment! Tuning: Standard CAPO 5. REMEMBER, WHEN READING THIS TAB, IT WILL BE RELEVANT TO THE CAPO. (If it says 2, it will really be 7) [Verse 1] Lay low. [Chorus] (1st Time) (Recommend to finger pick) (The "X" means to slap the strings to mute the stings and make a sort of percussion sound, like what fingerstyle guitarists do)
