This song has a lot tricks to it, so I put some notes in with the tab to help you to
how to play it and have it sound right. As a rule, try to keep your pull-offs nice and
buzzing open strings.
[Intro] Played through most of the song.
NOTE: I think Delirious? plays the first version I here. Their pull-off is really clean
and it's somewhat hard to get just right, so if you want you can just play the second
(which sounds mostly the same).
Version 1:
e|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
A|-----7---5--7~-----7-----------|
E|--0----7--------0----7-10p0-3--|
Version 2:
Here, it's very important to quickly squeeze the last 0 on the E string in between 5 on
A string and the 3 on the E string. The idea isn't to let it ring; play it and move on.

[Chorus] Sounds like the guitarist strums it once and then lets it ring with a tad bit
delay, but regular strumming sounds fine too.
On Christ the solid rock we will stand,

[Bridge] Lots of improvisation. Here's the tab. Feel it out!
Notes:
[1] When you bend the 7 on the D string, be sure to bring it back from the bend
[2] Let up lightly right after the first 3 on the E string to cut off the note, then let
second one ring right before the open E
