* Main chord/Bass Note, For example: *
* E/G# would be a chord of E with a bass note of G# *
* We read it as "E over G sharp" played like 4X2400 *
* *
* Please don't be put off by the unfamiliar chords, *
* try it and practice it, it sounds quite nice. *
* While doing this, you are adding more chord variations into your arsenal of chords c: *
* *
* So just remember this is not set in stone. It's just a guide. *
* You can improvise and change the way you play it. *
* Personally I like to play the chords in this voicing: *
* *
* Verse chords: *
* A X0990X *
* D or Dmaj7 X577XX *
* E/A 07990X *
* Esus2/G# X6640X *
* F#m X9790X *
* *
* Chorus Chords: *
* A X0240X *
* D or Dmaj7 XX023X *
* D/A X0023X *
* D/F# 2X023X *
* E or Esus4 02240X This is actually how to play an E5 but it sounds ok here :) *
* Esus2/G# 4X240X *
* F#m X4420X *
* F#m/E 04420X *
* *
* Why are there two sets of chords? Verse and chorus chords? *
* Verse chords have a light, intimate sound and the chorus chords are full and bright. *
* Play it and see :) *
* *
* I have the last high E string muted on all the chords. *
* It sounds less jarring when playing with an entire band. *
* And since this song is in the key of A having that high E note ringing out isn't that great for me. *
* Feel free to play the last E string if it sounds better to you :) *
* !!! Most importantly !!! You are not playing music, you are praising God! if your heart is in it, *
* He will accept your praise no matter how badly or how beautifully you play. God Bless *
