Song: The Change
Artist: Steven Curtis Chapman
Album: Speechless
Copyright: 1999 Sparrow Records
Tabbed by Kyle Larson - klarson@txccc.org
A special thanks Chuck Miller

The Intro and the Verse are very similar.  I think that he is using a strange tuning, however I could not pick it up.  So, I will tab this with a standard tuning.  You may want to try a phaser setting on your guitar in the intro/verse.  Enjoy the song and e-mail me any questions/comments if you want to.  

What a great song!  Thank you Steven Curtis Chapman. You are such a blessing.

God Bless!!
