Here's Unchanging by Chris Tomlin, great song, and plenty of interesting riffs.
The intro and first verse in the original recording uses some electronic effects, I've transposed them over to the guitar using the usual dotted eighth note delay, with high feedback settings.
I found the ending bit quite repetitive and draggy, and included some improvised guitar parts behind (not video-ed) to get the guitar engaged in some free worship, along with the voices. Hope you like the effect.

Frankly I find the ending quite repetitive, and that a free worship guitar instrumental would better bring the song to a climatic ending, so feel free to play around with the ending.

what are the chords?
what key is this in? and where would you play it in E?
Believe the original is Ab, move everything down the neck 2 steps (subtract 4 from tab) to play in E
Where would I play this in D?
