------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURAGEOUS - Casting Crowns ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dustin Email: djhunsin@gmail.com Forward: This is my first guitar tab. Casting Crowns did a video explaining how they play this song, but it wasn't very easy to follow, so I decided to sit down and tab it out (link to their video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDmkIXrthwE). As explained in the video, the track version is played in A and the live version in Ab. However, in the video they used the key of G, which is what I have tabbed out below. For this reason, playing this tab alongside the studio version of the song won't sound the same. Additionally, I'm not sure if the chord names are technically correct, but for simplicity of reference I call them by the names below. Please let me know if I need to make any corrections. Enjoy!

We were made to be ^Emcourageous We were made to lead the ^Cway We could be the ^Ggeneration D (Let Ring) That finally breaks the chains We were made to be ^Ccour^Gageo^Emus ^D C G D (Let Ring) We were made to be courageous

[1st Verse]

We were warriors on the ^Emfront lines Standing, una^Cfraid But now we're watchers on the ^Gsidelines While our families slip ^Daway Where are you, men of ^Emcourage? You were made for so much ^Cmore Let the pounding of our ^Ghearts cry We will serve the ^DLord

[Chorus]

We were made to be ^Ccourageous And ^Gwe're taking back the ^Dfight We were made to be ^Ccourageous And it ^Emstarts with us ^Gtonight The only ^Cway we'll ever ^Gstand Is on our ^Emknees with lifted ^Dhands Make us ^Ccourag^Geou^Ems ^D Lord, make us ^Ccourag^Geous ^D

[2nd Verse]

This is our ^Emresolution Our answer to the ^Ccall We will love our wives and ^Gchildren We refuse to let them ^Dfall We will reignite the ^Empassion That we buried deep ^Cinside May the watchers become ^Gwarriors Let the men of God ^Darise

In the ^Cwar of the ^Gmind I will ^Emmake my ^Dstand In the ^Cbattle of the ^Gheart And the ^Embattle of the ^Dhand In the ^Cwar of the ^Gmind I will ^Emmake my ^Dstand In the ^Cbattle of the ^Gheart D (Let Ring) And the battle of the hand

[Chorus]
