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	 Cmaj7     Em	
Your warm embrace
   Cmaj7		   Em	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
	         Em  Cmaj7  Em
You're all I need
       Cmaj7	      Em  Cmaj7
Oh Lord, You're all I need
	     Em	 Cmaj7  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. :)
