Nothing Without You


Nothing Without You by Bebo Norman This is exactly how he plays it. I learned it from his youtube lesson and with the help of his original version I put it all together in this tab. In the song you'll notice he does a hammer-on and pull-off in between each verse and chorus (and the intro). He's doing it on the D string and with the capo on the second fret he basically does 0h2 and then 2p0 while he's playing a D chord (you'll want to listen to the song to get the timing exactly right). Below the song I have the chords tabbed out, and you'll notice that the hammer-on and pull-off is basically switching between his D and A Chord. He tunes his guitar to DADGAD Capo 2 (Key of E) Intro: D Verse 1 D A Take these hands and lift them up Bm G For I have not the strength to praise you near enough D For, I have nothing A D I have nothing without you Verse 2 D A And take my voice and pour it out Bm G Let it sing the songs of mercy I have found D For, I have nothing A D I have nothing without you Chorus D A G D D A G And all my soul needs is all your love Bm D A G D To cover me, so all the world will see A D That I have nothing without you Verse 3 D A Take my body and build it up Bm G May it be broken as an offering of love D For I have nothing A D I have nothing without you Chorus (with bridge at the end) D A G D D A G And all my soul needs is all your love Bm D A G D To cover me, so all the world will see D A Bm A G That I have nothing that I love you, yeah Bm A G With all my heart Bm A G With all my soul Bm A Em With all my mind A And all the strength I can find Verse 4 D A Take my time here on this earth Bm G And let it glorify all that you are worth D For I am nothing A D I am nothing without you Specifics of the Song Bebo Norman tunes his Guitar to DADGAD Chords in DADGAD tuning (use Capo): D = XX0200 A = X02200 Bm = X24400 G = 5X0000 Em = 222000 I don't like to do a whole lot of tunings other than standard because I don't like having to retune my guitar for each song. So I figured out how to play like he plays in standard, and the tab for that is below. It's easier to play it in DADGAD like he does, but it's not so bad in standard either. Make sure you take off the capo though if you play the song in standard.
