Drop-D tuned capo 2nd fret or standard-tuned partial capo bottom 5 strings 2nd fret
(This is a little high for me, so I play it Drop-D without the capo, or standard without
the capo and just play the D bass notes the the 4th string instead of the 6th.)

Time signature is 6/8. I will tab the intro to demonstrate the picking pattern. The
pattern does not significantly deviate from this throughout the song (just play the
appropriate string for each chord's bass note) so there's no point tabbing out any more.

Gm6/Bb A7 D D7/A
CHORUS (repeated after each VERSE):
G/D G/d D D/A
O Lord, Thou hast searched me and know me
Gm6/Bb A7 Dmaj7 D7/A
And art acquainted with all of my ways
G/D G/d D D/A
Thou hast beset me behind and before
Gm6/Bb A7 Dmaj7 Dmaj7/A [D7 Dmaj7/A skip last time to OUTRO]
And laid thine hand upon me
VERSE 1:
D D/A G/D G/d
If I take the wings of the morning
D D/A A A
Dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea
Bm Bm7/A Gmaj7 Gmaj7
Even there shall thy hand lead me
D A D D7/A
And thy right hand shall hold me
VERSE 2:
If I say surely darkness shall cover me
Even the night shall be light about me
Yea the darkness hideth naught from me
But the night shineth as the day
VERSE 3:
Search me O Lord and know my heart
Try me and know my thoughts
And see if there be a wicked way in me
And lead me in the way everlasting
OUTRO: Gm6/Bb A7 [Dmaj7 000222 single slow strum]
