Jars Of Clay-Trouble Is
D-A-D-F#-A-D tuning(open D)

I have been wanting to play this song for years, but there were
never any good tabs. After a Jars concert in PA, me and a couple
of friends were talking to Dan Haseltine, and we asked him about
the song. He told us that it was in open tuning. I went home,
figured it out and posted the tab.
                                                       ENJOY!
