edgeguitarist05 - 2006-01-06
No I pur the Capo on 8 and played the song in G, in the Key of D and it sounded correct. Also, David their lead gutarist wrote it as the key of C# and played it in D. 3 different keys.
edgeguitarist05 - 2006-01-06
I meant Daniel, sorry.
iamnotfamous - 2006-01-07
yeah, no problem. Yes, the original key is Db. The Db may be a high singing range for some, that's why I said for those who want to play or sing in the KEY OF G, they must Capo 7 with this tab. Hope this helps. Here's the Capo theory:

NO CAPO KEY of C=KEY of C
CAPO 1 KEY of C=KEY of C# or Db
CAPO 2 KEY of C=KEY of D
CAPO 3 KEY of C=KEY of D# or Eb
CAPO 4 KEY of C=KEY of E
CAPO 5 KEY of C=KEY of F
CAPO 6 KEY of C=KEY of F# or Gb
CAPO 7 KEY of C=KEY of G
CAPO 8 KEY of C=KEY of G# or Ab
CAPO 9 KEY of C=KEY of A
CAPO 10 KEY of C=KEY of A# or Bb
CAPO 11 KEY of C=KEY of B
CAPO 12 KEY of C=KEY of C (1 OCTAVE HIGHER than original C)
QuakerGrapes - 2006-01-11
Hey thanks guys this one helped me out a lot. I just got to figure out how to read tabs better and it will be great. ha ha Thanks I love this song

Guitar4Christ21 - 2006-07-19
Errr...I thought the original Key was in C#? because the way I play it is:

start off with C# Bbm C# F# C# Bbm C# F#

Chorus C# Bbm F# G# C# and so on and so forth

Note: You can also use Capo 1, and play everything a half step down

Capo 1
C# = C
Bbm = Am
F# = F
G# = G

either way it works for me, but I tried it in Db...and it didnt sound right, and I have my guitar at standard 440, so I dunno! Good Song though, God Bless!
