January's FREE gospel tab----"Ode To Joy"

Erv Niehaus · Post by **Erv Niehaus** » 1 Jan 2010 9:13 am

We are starting out 2010 with something a little bit out of the ordinary.
I have just finished tabbing out Ludwig Van Beethoven's "Ode To Joy".
If you ever wanted to impress your wife, girlfriend, nextdoor neighbor, mother-in-law, etc., just say that my next number is going to be a piece by Beethoven.
I'll bet it will knock their socks off!
It is a very good song to start off the new year.
Here are the lyrics:

"Joy to every living creature,
Joy of earth and heav'n above,
All mankind shall be as brothers,
if we learn the truth of love.
God that gave us all these glories,
Help us find the way to Thee,
Help us learn to love our brothers,
Give us Thy great light to see".

Good advice in this new decade.
If you would like the tab for this song just let me know and I will drop it in the mail. It is tabbed out for the E9th pedal tuning.
If you haven't received tab from me before, I will need your postal mailing address.

Happy New Year!

Brother CrowBear,
Wishing you the same also!
I will get that tab on its way to you.

I just did a search on the internet and found out that Beethoven was deaf when he wrote this song.
He heard it in his head.
This was towards the end of his life.

He was leadiang an orchesta playing the song and didn't know how the audience had accepted it until he turned around and saw that they were giving him a standing ovation.

I recieved the tabs I ordered from you and they are
beautiful. I am currently working on Buelah Land
and it is beginning to come together just fine. I
want to thank you for them and for you hard work and
dedication to this god given music. I know that most
people associate the Steel with Country music but it
is so fantastic to hear what people have to say when
they learn that a Church, of all places, has a Steel
Guitar playing with the Chior or special singing.
Thanks to you, it is possible.

Please excuse the spelling, sometimes I can't remember good grammar.

May God help you with you mission to bless the World
with great Gospel Music.

Johnny,
That was so very nice of you to write.
I am happy to hear that you like my tabs.
It's my hope that I can encourage people to "give praises to the Lord on an instrument of 10 strings" by means of gospel tabs.
Keep up the good work and the Holy Spirit will encourage you along the way.

Johnny Baker · Post by **Johnny Baker** » 9 Jan 2010 3:18 pm

I will and I will be ordering more soon.
