I think this way is a little easier to play and still sounds pretty good.
*Capo 2*
A cool way to play it is palm mute, or just strum fast and downward every time,
for both of the verses and for the first time through the bridge. Then pick back
p to normal for the prechorus and chorus. I heard it done this way once and it
sounds cool.
Verse 1:
G D Em C
Blessed be your name, in the land that is plentiful.
G D
Where streams of abundance flow.
C
Blessed be your name.
G D Em C
Blessed be your name, when I’m found in this desert place.
G D
Though I walk through the wilderness.
C
Blessed be your name.
Pre-chorus:
G D
Every blessing you pour out I
Em C
Turn back to praise.
G D
And when the darkness closes in Lord,
Em D
Still I will say…
Chorus:
G D
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Em C
Blessed be your name.
G D
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Em C
Blessed be your glorious name.
Verse: 2
G D Em C
Blessed be your name, when the sun’s shining down on me.
G D
When the world is all as it should be,
C
Blessed be your name.
G D Em C
Blessed be your name, on the road marked with suffering,
G D
Though there is pain in the offering,
C
Blessed be your name.
Chorus
Bridge: (x2)
G D
You give and take away
Em D
You give and take away
G D
My heart will choose to say
G C
Lord, blessed be your name.
This is a wonderful song. What do you guys think of the chords?
