Great Expectations Steven Curtis Chapman
Steven Curtis Chapman
c1999 Sparrow Song
This song is played tuned down half a step, but I try to avoid that
whenever possible. You can cheat by putting a capo on 2 on standard
tuned guitar, but Ill include both ways for those who want to play it
like on the CD.
