Magnificent Obsession
Steven Curtis Chapman

He uses some odd chords in the song, so I will tab them out as (I think) he
plays them.  There are some odd timings which I won't write down ('cause I 
don't really know what they are)  So you have to listen to the song.  I will 
just write the order in which the chords go.  And also, to get the true sound 
of the song, you must follow the chords as I have written them down, (meaning 
although the C looks weird, it's right).

This is my key for writing the tab
h=hammer on
h/=pulloff(I could'nt think of how else to write it)

That's the whole song that I know, the Bridge chords are probably the same 
chords that we have used already, I just haven't bothered to figure out the 
order.  It will take some listeing and playing with the song to get it right
because of his chord timings, but I know this is right.

I got this tab around two years ago around when it was added to this website and I am listening to this song right now. The song is perfect and I love it. this song has really touched my heart.

has anyone noticed that the begging is almost exactly the same as the begging to Steven's song Dive.

This song is much easier with a foote capo. I can give you the chords I play if you'd like. Just get into contact with me. It's still a great tab, and I love this song.

This is a great tab. It does sound like Steven uses an open C#min. which looks like X46650. That way you get the 6 String sound. It sounds Fine hte way you have it just if you are solo this sounds pretty cool. You can also use the Emaj7 as XX2444.
