   This picking pattern is used in some of the verses and stuff in
   the song. In general, if you see 'C  C/B  Am7' somewhere, use this
   pattern unless I tell you to do something else. 
   
   VERSE 1: [use picking pattern above]
   --------
        C                    C/B
   Well I just heard     the news today
      Am7
   It seems my life     is going to change
     C                   C/B
   I close my eyes,    begin to pray
        Am7                    Am7
   Then tears of joy    stream down my face
   
   
   CHORUS: [in the last line, start playing the picking pattern again]
   -------
                  F
   With arms wide open
             C*
   Under the sunlight
           Em
   Welcome to this place
                 D*
   I'll show you everything
                  C      C/B                 Am7
   With arms wide open        With arms wide open
   
   
   VERSE 2: [strum each chord once. Notice the G/B instead of C/B]
   --------
        C                  G/B
   Well I don't know    if I'm ready
      Am7              Am7*
   To be the man     I have to be
        C                            G/B
   I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
      Am7                    Am7*
   We stand in awe, we've created life
   
   
   CHORUS:

   GUITAR-SOLO:
   ------------
   I ain't gonna tab the solo. Just play these
   chords and make something up:
   
   C5   C5/B   Bb5   A5
   
   
   BRIDGE:
   -------
            C5
   If I had just one wish
        C5/B
   Only one demand
               Bb5
   I hope he's not like me
             A5
   I hope he understands
               C5
   That he can take this life
               C5/B
   And hold it by the hand
              Bb5
   And he can greet the world
                  A5
   With arms wide open
   
   
   CHORUS:
   -------
                  F5
   With arms wide open
             C5
   Under the sunlight
           E5
   Welcome to this place
                 D5
   I'll show you everything
                  F5
