Nothing Without You Bebo Norman
Nothing Without You by Bebo Norman
This is exactly how he plays it. I learned it from his youtube lesson and with the help
of his original version I put it all together in this tab.
In the song you'll notice he does a hammer-on and pull-off in between each verse and
chorus (and the intro). He's doing it on the D string and with the capo on the second fret
he basically does 0h2 and then 2p0 while he's playing a D chord (you'll want to listen
to the song to get the timing exactly right). Below the song I have the chords tabbed out,
and you'll notice that the hammer-on and pull-off is basically switching between his D
and A Chord.
He tunes his guitar to DADGAD
Capo 2 (Key of E)
Intro: D
Verse 1
Take these h[D]ands and lift them [A]up
For I have [Bm]not the strength to praise you near e[G]nough
For, I have n[D]othing
I have no[A]thing w[D]ithout you
Verse 2
And take my v[D]oice and pour it o[A]ut
Let it s[Bm]ing the songs of mercy I have f[G]ound
For, I have n[D]othing
I have no[A]thing w[D]ithout you
Chorus
And a[D]ll [A]my [G]soul [D]needs is a[D]ll [A]your [G]love
To cover [Bm]me, so a[D]ll [A]the [G]world will s[D]ee
That I have n[A]othing w[D]ithout you
Verse 3
Take my b[D]ody and build it [A]up
May it be b[Bm]roken as an offering of l[G]ove
For I have n[D]othing
I have n[A]othing w[D]ithout you
Chorus (with bridge at the end)
And a[D]ll [A]my [G]soul [D]needs is a[D]ll [A]your [G]love
To cover [Bm]me, so a[D]ll [A]the [G]world will s[D]ee
That I h[D]ave n[A]othing that I l[Bm]ove y[A]ou, y[G]eah
With all my[Bm] he[A]ar[G]t
With all my[Bm] so[A]ul[G]
With all my[Bm] mi[A]nd[Em]
And all the s[A]trength I can find
Verse 4
Take my t[D]ime here on this e[A]arth
And let it g[Bm]lorify all that you are w[G]orth
For I am n[D]othing
I am n[A]othing w[D]ithout you
Specifics of the Song
Bebo Norman tunes his Guitar to DADGAD
Chords in DADGAD tuning (use Capo):
D = XX0200
A = X02200
Bm = X24400
G = 5X0000
Em = 222000
I don't like to do a whole lot of tunings other than standard because I don't like
having to retune my guitar for each song. So I figured out how to play like he plays in
standard, and the tab for that is below. It's easier to play it in DADGAD like he does,
but it's not so bad in standard either. Make sure you take off the capo though if you
play the
song in standard.
