I don't have the chords down exact and I don't "do" tab...sitting here without a guitar I will try to throw something on to the screen which should get you moving in the right direction: The Maker (G/ add a D note on the B string) of the universe (Fmaj7th)... As man (Am) for man (Dm) was made (E) a curse (E/G#)... the claims(Am) of laws which He had made (Dm) (then notes D, E, F,)... Unto (F) the utermost (G) He paid (E7/G#)... His (C) holy fingers (G) made the boughs (C)... That grew (C) the thorns that crown (F) His brow... The nails (Dm) that pierced (Dm/C) His hands (Esus) were mine (E)... in secret (Asus) places He designed (A)... He made (Dm) the forrest (Dm/C) whence (G) there sprung... the tree (C) on which (C/B) His body (Am) hung... He died (Dm) upon (Dm/C) a cross (Dm/B) of wood (E)... Yet made (E7) the hill on which it stood (A)... What a tear jerker! :-) hey, sorry I don't have a guitar handy. I'm sure there are some mistakes in the chords/lyrics, etc., but I'm hopeful it will get someone pointed in the right direction to where they can work out the details, etc. Best to you all, Cheers, John B.

Intro G | F2 | EbM7 | Dsus D | F | Eb | F(no3) Gm | Eb 1st Verse (Eb)The Maker (Fno3) of the (Eb2)universe As man (Gm) for man (Cm7) was made (D7) a curse (D7/F#) The claims(Gm) of law (Gm/Bb) which He had made (Eb6) unto the (Fsus) uttermost (F) He paid (F#dim7) His (Gm) holy fingers (F/A) made (Bb) the bough which (Dm7)grew the thorns that (EbM7)crown His brow The (Cm)nails that (Cm/Bb) pierced His hands (Cm/A) were mined (D7) in (D7/G)secret places He designed (G) He (Cm)made (Cm/Bb) the forrest whence (F/A) there sprung (F) the tree (Bb) (F/A)on which His (Gm) body hung He (Cm) died upon (Cm/Bb) a cross (Cm/A) of wood (D7) Yet made (D7/G) the hill on which it stood (repeat Intro) 2nd Verse (same chords) The sky that darkened o'er His head by Him above the earth was spread. The sun that hid from Him its face, by His decree was poised in space. The spear which spilled His precious blood was tempered in the fires of God. The grave in which His form was laid was hewn in rocks His hands had made. The throne on which He now appears was His from everlasting years. But a new glory crowns His brow and ev'ry know to Him shall bow. Then end: The (F)Maker of the (Eb2)Universe | (F) (Gm) | Bb/Eb Ken Billing ============================================================ Date: Mon, 25 Aug 1997 09:15:03 -0400 From: "Brian O'Sullivan" Subject: TAB: Intro to Maker of the Universe Hi all, Seeing Phil last week inspired me to sit down & (try) to learn some songs I have been meaning to learn for a while now.
