/ Ben Harper / Burn to Shine (1999) / In the Lord's Arms guitar tab

Artist: Ben Harper
Song: In The Lord's Arms.

This pretty much sounds right. It uses standard tuning (EBGDAE), and its pretty basic.
It sounds best on a steel string acoustic, but you can use an electric without the distortion if you want.

Note: The C, D and Am chords sound a lot better if you don't let the 1st and 2nd strings ring.

 Tonight        is in          the Lord's   Arms.

The same goes for the other 2 verses.

I'd like to add that Ben Harper is a great inspiration to all of us.
