WooHoo
Performed by: Newsboys
W&M: Peter Furler and Phil Joel
Submitted: Brett Gibson


The rhythm is not that tricky, but you probably will need to at least
listen to the song to see how it goes.  On  listen to it to know how it
goes.  This is a totally awesome song!  On the middle bridge section,
try to come up with your own origianl guitar riff.  I read an article
saying that the Newsboys, in concert, would be doing all new stuff on
their songs, so they probably won't be playing it lke you hear it on the
CD.  Come up with a good riff and send it to me at
<super_bob_@hotmail.com>  I look forward to hearing from you!  This is a
totally awesome song!  Have fun with it!

Brett "SuperBob" Gibson
