Tenth Avenue North - Beloved Tabs

                             Beloved – Tenth Avenue North
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This song was written as a love song from God to us.  In the Bible He uses the an*logy
a man and an adulterous bride.  We keep running to other "lovers", like wealth, and
and sin, and human relationships.  We aren't just disobeying God, we are cheating on a 
 But God keeps pursuing us all the same.  Tenth Avenue North did a wonderful job writing
song. In that context, here it is:


Capo 4 (or three, to play with the album version)

Tuning:  Tune B string down to A
        (E A D G A e)

This is the way Mike plays it acoustically and solo at shows.  I got it from the video
which is Mike himself showing us how he plays it.  I’m pretty sure this is 100% right,
I could always be wrong. :)



All fingerings  and chords are relative to the capo.  So when you see 7, you’re actually
on the 11th fret.

(guitarforgod124).  I'm planning on posting a cover of this song as well as a tutorial
 So, good luck! :D


Chords: (I’m in music theory, so I like to have the actual chord names...just ignore
if you want to lol.  I made up easier names to call the chords when I put them with the words.)

    (A     A/F#   C#m7b6  Dadd9 Gadd9add13 Eadd11  Asus   Eadd11)

     A       A2      C#      D       G       E       A*      E*
e|---0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0---|
A|---0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0---|
G|---2-------2-------6-------7-------0-------1(2)----2-------1---|
D|---2-------2-------6-------7-------5-------2-------0-------2---|
A|---0-------X-------4-------5-------5-------2-------0-------0---|
E|---X-------2-------X-------X-------3-------0-------X-------X---|

On the E chord, he places his pinky down on the second fret of the G string sometimes,
then goes back to the regular chord.  Watch his video to get a feel for it.  I marked it
putting a (2) over the places where you do this.


Intro:

    D U D U D U   D U D U D U   D U D U D U   D U D U D U
e|------------0-|-----------0-|-----------0-|-----------0-|
A|--------0-----|-------0-----|-------0-----|-------0-----|
G|----6---------|---4---------|---2---------|---4---------|  x2
D|--7---7---7---|-6---6---6---|-4---4---4---|-6---6---6---|
A|--------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
E|--------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|

I can’t personally play this intro fast enough for the song, so I usually end up just
the chords like the rest of the song.  Make sure you mute the bottom two strings with your
finger though, so it has a higher sound and sounds different from the rest of the chords.


Verse 1:

A
Love of my life,
     A2
Look deep in my eyes...
C#                           D
There you will find what you need.
A
Give me your life,
    A2
The lust and the lies;
    C#                         D
The past you're afraid I might see.
            G                 E   (2)    (E)
You've been running away from me.


Chorus:

            A2     A*
You're my beloved,
          A      E*
Lover I'm yours.
                A2        A*
Death shall not part us,
             E       (2)  (E)
It's you I died for.
              A2      A*
For better or worse,
              A    E*
Forever we'll be.
            A2         A*
My love it unites us,
                    E    (2)  (E)
And it binds you to me...
              (replay intro picking/strumming)
It's a mystery.

A
Love of my life,
     A2
Look deep in my eyes...
C#                           D

        A
I'm the giver of life,
     A2
I'll clothe you in white.
    C#                       D
My immaculate bride you will be.
        G               E  (2)   (E)
Oh come running home to me. (yeah now)

Lover I'm yours.
                A2        A*

             E       (2)  (E)
It's you I died for.
              A2      A*
For better or worse,
              A    E*
Forever we'll be.
            A2         A*
My love it unites us,
                    E         (2)  (E)
And it binds you to me. (yeah, now, now)


Bridge:

            A*     E            A
Well you've been a mistress, my wife:
        A*          E          A2
Chasing lovers that won't satisfy.
          A*     E           A2
Won't you let me make you my bride?
         A*
You will drink of my lips,
    E         (2)   (E)
And taste new life.


Chorus:

            A2     A*
You're my beloved,
          A      E*
Lover I'm yours.
                A2        A*
Death shall not part us,
             E       (2)  (E)
It's you I died for.
              A2      A*
For better or worse,
              A    E*
Forever we'll be.
            A2         A*
My love it unites us,
                    E    (2)  (E)
And it binds you to me...
                A2    E    A
It's a mystery.
