United Live - Only One

Click here for a plain text version of this song (for better printing)

Hello everybody! Anyway, there are two other Only One tabs, but neither one
of them included every guitar part in the song. I learned this song this
morning and felt like putting up a comprehensive tab.
Of course, this song was written by Hillsong United and they deserve all the
credit... unless you include Jesus. :p
Anyway, here's the song.

The b string is accurate. If you have individual earpiece headphones you can
completely single out left and right speakers. What you're actually hearing is
two guitars. Guitar 1 plays the following over and over:

same as Chorus 1

Interlude 2: (2:11-2:21)

Guitar 1:

e
b
g -8-----10-11-
d

                          v strum inbetween "forever" and "I'll be"
e                        -x-x-

g -8-8\-                 -x-x-
d              rest      -x-x-
a -6-6\-                 -x-x-
e                        -x-x-

Then after a moment the drums fill in and the chorus procedes as usual. 
At 3:17 add in the interlude 1 Guitar 2 riff. 
At 3:27 switch from the chorus chords to the interlude 1 Guitar 1 octaves.

That's it! I spent quite a bit of time on this song this morning, and I
believe it's as accurate as you can get without buying the official book.

Enjoy!
