Whatever It Takes

A song by Lifehouse. Performed it at our church's youth BBQ event a few weeks back, and we thought we'd put it up on YouTube :) The guitars are tuned a step down, because we followed Lifehouse's acoustic version on YouTube, and because it's easier for us to sing too. Heh. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Tommy Ting said...

Dave Josh said...

WOW! that's too many tabs to write! awesome job guys! thanks! I've been waiting for this :D

Graham Choo said...

Hey tommy,
My brother will do the instructional video for the song eventually, so just gotta be patient :)
Also, since I've decided not to include the strumming pattern in my tabs because it'd make them look messy, I'll just briefly tell you what they are:

1. Verse : D D UDUDD DU
2. Chorus: D D UDUDD DU
3. Bridge: D D UDUDD DU
D UDUD UDUD DU

Have fun learning the song :) The instructional will clear things up if you're still having problems.
