Selah - You Raise Me Up guitar chord
You Raise Me Up
Selah
I just listened to this a half dozen times and attempted to translate piano to
acoustic. This is just my translation. I think its pretty but a little
difficult in some places but hopefully these chords will help you.
xx3211 F
x13331 Bb or x133xx (easy Bb)
x32010 C
xx0231 Dm
x02210 Am
320033 G
x32033 C2 (Cadd2)
xx0232 D
x20033 Cb
022033 Em
xx0233 Dsus4 (optional)
For the second time through the chorus I like to keep the third fret of the
last two strings covered throughout - one, because it is really easy to play
all the chords, and two, I think it sounds beautiful that way. I use this on
all but the D chord which an optional Dsus4 – D lick could be added just to
make it sound prettier.
There is a wind instrument playing before the second chorus and is a little
hard to translate to acoustic (translating piano is challenging as well) so I
just did my best to follow with what I thought would sound the best.
Note the key changes from the first chorus to the second and from the second
chorus to the second verse. And the end may sound better a’capela than trying
to accompany with guitar. Personally, I like singing it more than playing it.
And if ANYONE knows an easier way to play the Bb I have listed, me and my
fingers would be much obliged to hear from you. Here you go – You Raise Me Up:
