Unashamed (Chords)

Posted by chris on

VERSE 1:
  A2       Bsus    C#m7
I have not much to offer you
    A2        Bsus4    C#m7
Not near what you deserve
    A2      Bsus   C#m7
But still I come because your cross
    A2        Bsus  E
Has placed in me my worth

VERSE 2:
   A2        Bsus    C#m7
Oh Christ my king of sympathy
      A2       Bsus       C#m7
Who’s wounds secure at peace
     A2      Bsus     C#m7
Your grace extends to call me friend
     A2    Bsus    E
Your mercy sets me free

CHORUS:
          A2      Bsus
And I know I’m weak
  C#m7
I know I’m unworthy
       A2   Bsus      C#m7
To call upon your name
           A2       Bsus
But because of grace
  C#m7
Because of your mercy
      A2      Bsus   E
I stand here unashamed

VERSE 3:
I can’t explain this kind of love
I’m humbled and amazed
That you come down from heaven’s heights
And greet me face to face

BRIDGE:
        E
Here I am
           A2
At your feet
         Bsus            A2
In my brokenness complete

Jesus, Messiah (Tutorial)

Please note, I transcribed these chords by using another chord sheet I found online, and listening to the music. One of the chords I used, I now know is technically wrong (I ignored what the chord sheet I found said). The E/C# is actually supposed to be a C#m7. It’s only technically wrong, because essentially, the E/C# is itself a C#m7, except I dropped the C# from the right hand. So if you’re a guitarist using these chords and are freaking out trying to figure out how to play a E/C#, play the C#m7 and it shall work! PS: I’m going to keep the incorrect chords because I do not want to redo my video. Haha.

When Christmas Comes To Town (Tutorial)

Posted by chris on December 9, 2008

I beg of you, please, please, please be patient when learning this song. This is just about the most complicated song I’ve ever attempted to teach through video. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have done it, cause it probably raises the bar on the difficulty of the songs I teach. But I really like the song, and I started it and wanted to finish. So here it is. I know I say “flat” alot, and I got annoyed hearing myself say it so much. But whatever… that’s the key the song is in. Anyway, enjoy, and Merry Christmas!
