COURAGEOUS - Casting Crowns

Casting Crowns did a video explaining how they play this song, but it wasn't very easy to follow,
so I decided to sit down and tab it out (link to their video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDmkIXrthwE).
As explained in the video, the track version is played in A and the live version in Ab.
However, in the video they used the key of G, which is what I have tabbed out below.
Use capo 2 to play alongside the studio version of the song.

We were warriors on the front lines

Standing, unafraid

But now we're watchers on the sidelines

While our families slip away

Where are you, men of courage?

You were made for so much more

Let the pounding of our hearts cry

We will serve the Lord

We were made to be courageous

And we're taking back the fight

And it starts with us tonight

The only way we'll ever stand
Em D
Is on our knees with lifted hands
C G Em D
Make us courageous
C G D
Lord, make us courageous
[Verse 2]
Em
This is our resolution
C
Our answer to the call
G
We will love our wives and children
D
We refuse to let them fall
Em
We will reignite the passion
C
That we buried deep inside
G
May the watchers become warriors
D
Let the men of God arise
[Chorus]
C
We were made to be courageous
G D
And we're taking back the fight

We were made to be courageous

And it starts with us tonight

I will make my stand

In the battle of the heart

And the battle of the hand
