		   "The Rich Song" by Caedmon's Call
Words and music by Derek Webb
Copyright 1997 Thirsty Plant Music
In loving memory of Rich Mullins


Open in D, standard-tuned six-string acoustic.  Lively tempo in 4.


     This is derek's song for Rich.  Derek sings; Cliff sings the 
bridge with derek joining on harmony.  Always hit the bass note on beat 
one and strum the rest of the measure.  The general strumming pattern 
is this:

Count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
      B   X     x x x

where B is the bass note, X is a strong strum, and x is a normal strum, 
and of course odd numbers are down strokes, even are up.
