Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Ok well this isn’t a “full tab” I guess. I kinda stopped after the first verse. But I think
that you can get enough ideas from the first verse to make up new riffs and stuff like
that. Plus I just became overwhelmed by laziness. You can switch between playing chords and
playing the melody, just a suggestion.
Things to be aware of: This is in 6/8 time. The melody is always played on beats 1, 3, 5, 6. He uses a lot of hammer-ons an pull-offs on beats 5 and 6.
Well enjoy!

Here I raise mine Ebenezer
E F# B
hither by thy help I'm come;
B F#
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
E F# B
safely to arrive at home.
B Abm
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
E F# B
wandering from the fold of God;
B F#
he, to rescue me from danger,
E F# B
interposed his precious blood.
B F#
O to grace how great a debtor
E F# B
daily I'm constrained to be
B F#
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
E F# B
bind my wandering heart to thee.
B Abm
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
E F# B
prone to leave the God I love;
B F#
here's my heart, O take and seal it,
E F# B
seal it for thy courts above.
