Awakening | Chords and Lyrics | Chris Tomlin | Hillsong United

This week’s “Song of The Week” goes to Awakening, written by Chris Tomlin and Reuben Morgan. This song was first released on the Passion 2010 CD Awakening, performed by Chris Tomlin and the Passion Band. It is such a powerful song about this generation needing to be awoken by God. Awakening has recently been included in the Album Aftermath, by Hillsong United. I hope you enjoy this song, and may it help awaken your spirit.

These tabs are in the key of E to match Hillsong United’s version of the song. It is much easier to play their variation of the song. If you want to play it in Chris Tomlin’s version, simpling add a “flat” to each note (in other words, play each note a half step lower)

Intro: E - B - A - E

Verse 1:
         E                   B    A      E
