Chords

Words & Music: Stuart Townend, Matt Maher & Kelly Minter (Hillsongs) Original recording is played with Capo set to 5th fret. While the first chord is written "G", the sound played from the strings is "C". Adjust the position of the Capo to your preference. Fingering suggestions:

G       3 X 0 0 3 3
        2       3 4 <- Fingers used, left hand

D4/F#   2 0 0 2 3 3
        1     2 3 4 <- Fingers used, left hand

Em7     0 2 2 0 3 3
          1 2   3 4 <- Fingers used, left hand

C2      X 3 2 0 3 3
          2 1   3 4 <- Fingers used, left hand

Bm      X 2 4 4 3 2
          1 4 3 2 1 <- Fingers used, left hand (barre chord)

This fingering keeps the 3rd and 4th fingers in place for a high-end drone effect. While not necessary, it is what gives the music its character. INTRO = Unsung Verse
