Morning. Here's the tab for a sweet song by John Mark Mcmillan--Economy. I'll lay out
the tab like this: first, I'll give you the 5 chords John Mark uses during the song and
name them, then I'll give them to you in time with the song's lyrics.
This tab is based off the takeaway show that John Mark did before the release of the
whole album Economy on Nov. 1. The way John Mark plays it, he relies heavily on the low E
string to set a nice foundation for the chords he plays. If you like the way that sounds
(which I happen to), you can emulate that, but if not, find your own style. You can find
the takeaway show here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETOcdqj9BnA&list=PL89EDFA05632A136B&index=10&feature=plpp_video.
I think by listening to the video and the chords I lay
down, you can figure out the rhythm of his strumming, so I won't bother posting a strum
pattern or anything.
This song is done with a capo on the 2nd fret, by the way. All tabs will be in relation
to the capo. (i.e. 2 would actually be the 4th fret up) Enough with the pedancy and
explanation, let's get cookin.

Raise your voice
F#m7/Ab
Chase away the ghosts
C#m
The pain that haunts a heart
Emaj7
The things we fear the most
F#m7/A
The entropy of life
F#m7/Ab
The slow decay of time
C#m Emaj7
That wars against our bones
F#m7/A
All these sinking ships
F#m7/Ab
Are ruled against the waves
C#m
The raging of the tide
Emaj7
The tyranny of days
F#m7/A
And sleep would chase us down
F#m7/Ab
Sleep would have its way
C#m Emaj7
And night would fall upon us all
CHORUS
C#m E F#m7/A F#m7/Ab
But I believe you can overcome my economy
C#m E F#m7/A
You can dig me out of the grave

Longing for a day
F#m7/Ab
Arrested by a hope
C#m Emaj7
That death could not foreclose upon
[CHORUS]

Good Redeemer. Let me know of any corrections you think I should make--you can reach me
