Love Take Me Over Steven Curtis Chapman
Many thanks to Marty Keith for figuring this out and posting a YouTube tutorial,
which I've blatantly plagiarized with his permission for this tab.
There's a lot of muting and staccato, especially in the intro and verses. Just
listen to the recording to catch the groove, or check out Marty's video for strumming instruction.
I claim no rights to this - I just wrote it down.
Tuning is DADGAD tuned down 1/2 step (Db,Ab,etc.)
