Here is the acoustic version of True Love by Phil Wickham. I’ve tabbed it out and

since it’s tuned pretty weird I couldn’t figure out exactly what the chords were called.

I’ve included a video showing you how to tune your guitar for this version of this song,

but he is starting the video having his guitar tuned already a 1/2 step down.

I also attached the video of Phil Wickham playing the song in studio.

In the tab, the superscripts are optional variations of the chords.

Post a comment if you have any questions.
