At the Cross

At the Cross (Hillsong) uses quite a number of interesting variations on the usual chords in the verse & chorus. Listen to them:



The guitar part uses a recurring note in the verse (put in bold in the tabs below) - this helps to create a more continuous sound:

E . . .Asus2 B C#m&
You Go Before Me
E/G# Asus2 . . . . . B . C#m7
You Shield My Way
E/G# Asus2 . . . . . B . C#m7
Your Hand Upholds Me
Asus2 . . . . . . B
I know You Love Me

E . . . Asus2 . B . . . C#m7 . E/G#

---2---|---2---|---4---|-------|---2---|
-------|-0-----|-2-----|-4-----|-------|

The chorus right after the 2nd verse strums chords in the higher registers:

Esus2
At the Cross I bow my knee
C#m
Where Your blood was shed for me
A . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . B
There's no greater love than this
Esus2
You have overcome the grave
C#m
Your glory fills the highest place
A . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . B
What can separate me now?

Esus2 C#m . . A . . . B
-7----9---9---7-----
-7----9---10--7-----
-9----9---9---8-----

Feel free to throw in some delay for the two examples as well.

What about the bridge? I can't find a tab for the riff anywhere.
