Embrace
Song: "Embrace"
Artist: My Friend Stephanie
Album: Makeover
Tab by: Evan Dickens

This is an incredibly beautiful worship song making use of just one
acoustic guitar and no other instruments. I think this one would be
good for campfire rallies and stuff. Whatever the case, it's very
pretty. My Friend Stephanie (a very highly recommended band) makes
good use of the Em-Cmaj7 progression again.
INTRO: G D C Em (glide the Em chord upward, in fact glide all
the Em chords that begin an Em-Cmaj7 part)
G D
I am weak, You are strong
C G
Send Your love, help me carry on
G D
All I want is to be like You
Em Cmaj7 G*
To be like You
G D
In my sadness, I feel Your peace
C G
Slowly pouring over me
G D
I need to feel Your embrace
Em Emaj7
Your warm embrace
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Oh Lord, Your warm embrace
G*
To feel Your embrace
(final verse is picking until the Em-Cmaj7 starts. Maybe someday I'll
tab it all out. But anything sounds pretty.)
G D
Through the night, I can see
C G
The light of mercy that covers me
G D*
And I know You're all I need
Emaj7
You're all I need
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
Oh Lord, You're all I need
Em Cmaj7
You're all I need
*For these chords, you'll do a quick hammer on and pull off of the
suspended form of the chord. For the D chord, you'll hammer the third
fret on the high E string and then pull off again. For the G chord, it's
a bit more complicated. Both major and suspended forms of G are tabbed
below; see if you can get it right.
Here's the chords:
G - (320003)
C - (032010)
D - (-00232)
Em - (022000)
Cmaj7 - (032000)
Gsus - (3x0013)
Dsus - (-00233)
This song gives me chills, especially the way it ends on a major 7th
chord. Songwriters, take note: good tactic if you want your acoustic
songs to be memorable. :)
I hope you enjoy this tab. Any corrections, comments, whatever, can be
e-mailed to kidfab@place2b.org, and I'd really love to hear from you if
you use this tab. Support My Friend Stephanie, they're incredible!
