**To get the proper sound for the rhythm guitar, play this capo 7 in the C
position (hit transpose up 5 half steps to get the chords)**
When you play it Capo 7, leave the E string open on the three chords
throughout the verse to get that sound you hear on "The Medicine" version.
Here it is in standard G position for the lead guitar and bass, no capo.
Intro x2:
G - D/F# - A
Verse 1
G D/F# A G D/F# A
All day long, we are sinking just like stones into the shadow of Your kindness
G D/F# A G
In this shade, between the wingspan of Your face is
D/F# A
the only place where we can bed these burdens down (so I)
Pre-Chorus
Bm7 A G Bm7 A G
Lift my eyes up to the hills... Who is gonna help me now?
Chorus
Em7 D/F# G A G A G
You're my only, You're my only, You're my only hope
Intro
Verse 2
G D/F# A G D/F# A
Tangled up, in the great ridiculous, way You love. It is the only way to live.
G D/F# A G
There's no escape, when You look at me that way
D/F# A
Staring like a deer into the headlights of Your praises (so I)
Pre - Chorus
Chorus 2
Em7 D/F# G A G A G
You're my only, You're my only, You're my only hope
G A Bm7 E7 G A Bm7
You're my only, You're my only, You're my only hope
Bridge
G D/F# A
and You come like the sun with pockets full of redemption
G D/F# A
and You come with the sun, with the sun

This is the backbone of the entire song. Play around with some lead parts
during the verses in the D major scale and get creative!
