I Do Believe Cifras

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
there's no reason why you can't 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.

Nothing terribly profound, just these simple words

that keep my heart anchored down, that keep my restless heart anchored down
