Re: Chords to He Abides

Welcome to Chordie!

Assuming you mean this song:
http://www.praisechords.net/2010/05/he-abides.html

I grew up with it in church but the video is a slightly different arrangement.  I always heard it as a simple three chord song (G, C, D or A, D, E or whichever 1-4-5 you prefer).

Using G the verse is:

(G) -joicing
(C) walk
(D) hand
(G) see

Then repeat for the second half of the verse.

Put a D or D7 between the last word of the verse and the start of the chorus such that you're singing "He a-" over it, then play a G on "-bides" (as per below).

The chorus is:
(G) -bides
(D) -lujah
(G) me
(C) walk
(D) Comforter (optional D7 on -bides; can also do this in the verse)
(G) me.



See how that sounds.
