CAPO 4 FOR ACOUSTIC!!
This is track 4 off of Matthew West's CD, "Happy."  It sounds best with an arrangement
of electric guitars, but a single acoustic at capo 4 sounds just fine for a worship
service.  Here is the complete chord sheet for the song...
INTRO:  G- C(3X) A  
REPEAT INTRO
VERSE1:
                 G                 C  G-C

   I can't seem to keep it from spinning
   GThis life is scrCeamin' so loud Gnow,C  
   GAnd I can't escCape from this crowd Gnow -
It's like I'm clEmimbin' up on the shouDlders
In a room full of straCngers,
         C(hold)
And then everybody walks away...
CHORUS:
GFly high - Cjump and touch the Gsky high -
CBring me back to Glife -
I Cknow You're there when AI Can't Hear You...
GDown now, Cat the speed of Gsound now -
CWhen I touch the Gground now,
CYou'll be there when AI Can't Hear You...
REPEAT INTRO
VERSE2:
G(palm mute)                  G(strum)-C  
I am a classic case of dysfunction -
                    G                    C  G-C  
I talk and talk, and still I say nothin'
GAm I the voice of mCy generaGtion?C  
Is Geveryone havin' the saCme conversaGtion?C
