I am Second – Newsboys Tabbed by: cramboneUSF Notes: This is a simple tab that may not be 100% correct but I did not see it anywhere else on the Internet so I figured it out as best I could. I didn't try the intro or anything because I am strictly a rhythm guitar player :). This tab is written for a distorted rhythm guitar and is meant to be played with power chords so I honestly don't know if some of these chords are minors or majors. But hey, you're only playing the root, fifth and octave so it really doesn't matter, does it?!?! Anyway, if it's wrong don't shoot the messenger. This is an awesome song that has a good message so enjoy! Of note - I play the F up on the neck (high) instead of the open (low) position because it sounds more like the recording.
