Tuning:

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. Please Be My Strength Gungor [Verse 1]

And ^Bmat my final ^F#mbreath I ^F#hope that I can ^Gsay G D A / I fought the good fight of faith I ^Bmpray Your glory ^F#mshine in this ^F#doubting heart of ^Gmine G D A / And all would know that You

[Chorus 2] G / D / F# / Bm You are my strength, You are my strength Bm/A G / Gm / D / / / You and You alone, You keep bringing me back home G / D / F# / Bm You are my strength, You are my strength Bm/A G / A / Bm7 / Bm/A You and You alone, You keep bringing me back home [Tag] / G / A / Bm It's You and You alone bringing me back home.
