Verse 1 & 2 Tabs:

David’s part (acoustic)  Slide from the A chord to the C part, 
just listen to the cd

    A   C      F       F    F
e --0---0---------   ------------ 
B --1--10------1--   --1----1----
G --2---9---9--2--   --0^2--2^0-- 
D --2--10--10--3--   --3----3---- 
A --0---0---0--x--   --x----x---- 
E -------------1--   --1----1----
The Electric Parts can be found on the David Crowder Band Website.  
The reason I didn’t post them is because there are about seven or eight 
different guitar riffs for this song.

Breakdown (After David says “Now” and Violin comes in)
Follow the above timing.  The carrots represent the symbols crashing.  
Listen to the violins and acoustic comes in as written above.  
This is also what the first electric guitar part plays 
which has a lot of overdrive.  

e ---0--0--0--
B ---0--8--7--
G ---9--6--8--
D --10--8--9--
A ---x--x--x--
E ---8--6--7--

This part is the electric part which is played three times.
It comes in at about the last five or six lines.
This is when everything is moving fast.
It’s played three times.  
Just listen to the song to get the timing.  
Play the bass notes first to get a feel for it then add the rest.

B -------------------------------12--
G -12--9------------------8--11------
D -12--9--10--8--11-8--9--8--11--9---
A -10--7--10--8--11-8--9--6--9-------
E --------8---6--9--6--7-------------

Best thing to do is to follow the tabs along with the cd
then attempt to play it, 
especially the breakdown.
