Misc Praise Songs – Down In The River To Pray (Guitar Tab)

A quick word of caution. Try playing XXX764 and XX467X before learning. These chords suck for small and stiff hands. Also, I can't be bothered to properly time everything so good luck. I was listening to the O Brother Where Art Thou version while writing this but it should work for any other version with a little tweaking. [Verse]

*Note: The chorus changes from "O sisters" to "O Brothers/Fathers/Mothers/Sinners" and a couple other words based on regional and personal preferences. My personal favourite is replacing "Sinners" with "Others" but I've heard many versions [Verse 1] E As I went down in the river to pray G#m7 E Studying about that good ol' way F#m And who shall wear the starry crown B7 A E Good Lord, show me the way [Chorus] B7 E O sisters, let's go down A E Let's go down, come on down B7 B7 O sisters, let's go down B A E Down in the river to pray [Verse 2] E As I went down in the river to pray G#m7 E Studying about that good ol' way F#m And who shall wear the robe and crown B7 A E Good Lord, show me the way [Chorus] B7 E O brothers, let's go down A E Let's go down, come on down B7 B7 O brothers, let's go down B A E Down in the river to pray [Verse 3] E As I went down in the river to pray G#m7 E Studying about that good ol' way F#m And who shall wear the starry crown B7 A E Good Lord, show me the way [Chorus] B7 E O fathers, let's go down A E Let's go down, come on down B7 B7 O fathers, let's go down B A E Down in the river to pray [Verse 4] E As I went down in the river to pray G#m7 E Studying about that good ol' way F#m And who shall wear the robe and crown B7 A E Good Lord, show me the way [Chorus] B7 E O mothers, let's go down A E Let's go down, come on down B7 B7 O mothers, let's go down B A E Down in the river to pray [Verse 5] E As I went down in the river to pray G#m7 E Studying about that good ol' way F#m And who shall wear the starry crown B7 A E Good Lord, show me the way [Chorus] B7 E O sinners, let's go down A E Let's go down, come on down B7 B7 O sinners, let's go down B A E Down in the river to pray ************************************ | p Pull-off | / Slide up ************************************
