Beloved Tenth Avenue North

Beloved â?? 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. Iâ??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, youâ??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: (Iâ??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.)

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.

I canâ??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,
Look [A2]deep in my eyes...
[C#]There you will find what you [D]need.
[A]Give me your life,

It's a mystery.
