I Do Believe
Steven Curtis Chapman
Album: Speechless
C1999 Sparrow Song/Peach Hill/BMI
Tabbed by Steve Cruickshank

This song is played in dropped-D and tuned down half a step, however
theres no reason why you cant play it in standard (it'll just sound
half a step higher than on the CD), but the riff pretty much requires
the low string to be dropped. All the chords written below are with
the tuning change as well.

C
Sitting in a traffic jam 11:52pm
G/B                                   Riff 1 and 2
Just a few miles south of Carolina Ohio
C
I take my pen and start to write the thoughts that fill my head tonight
G/B
Nothing terribly profound, just these simple words
Bb                                            C
that keep my heart anchored down, that keep my restless heart anchored down


Chorus:
D       C           G/B      Riff 2
I do, I do, I do, I do believe
D         F               Bb              C
I know, I know, I know, I know it's true, yeah
D       C           G/B      C
I do, I do, I do, I do believe
Bb   C        D   Riff 1 and 2
Lord I believe in you



Bridge:
Bb   C       Bb                        C
...Lord I believe in you, and if this faith in you is blind
D                   Riff 2
It's not to anything that's true
Bb                    C
Cause your love opens up my eyes
F                    G/B                      Riff 1
To see that everything I need is found when I believe in you


Chorus


Ending:
Bb   C     F   G/B        F   G/B
I believe, I believe, yes I believe in you

This looks like a good tab. Don't mean to be picky, but since I lived there for 8 years it's "Cincinnati, Ohio" (not Carolina).
