Topic: easy chord request for 10 commandments song, please help a beginner

I hope I am posting this correctly... don't want to get in any trouble.  I am a very new guitar player, trying to learn some music for Sunday school.  There is a 10 Commandments song that can be heard at http://www.cominghomecatholic.com/Ten%2 … 20Song.wav  It is a pretty easy tune, but I'm having a hard time correctly figuring out how to play it.  I think I would start with D, G & A, but there are a couple of places where I can't figure out what chord to play.  I think it would only take an experienced player a few minutes to figure it out, but I'm still a novice & not great at doing this on my own.  If anyone could help, that would be great. 

Thanks!!

Hi Jen and welcome to Chordie,

I think you will find that the chords line for line are as follows:

D Bm G A
D Bm G A
D Bm G A
D Bm A D
G D A D
G D A A
D Bm G A
G D A D

Sorry about the Bm in there it is not an easy chord for a beginner but it belongs I'm afraid.

Hi Jen,

A further thought. You could put a capo on the second fret and use C Am F G to stay in the same pitch. It does introduce the F chord which can be another stumbling block and as you are new to Chordie I do not know the level of your playing.

I will definitely think about it.  I have been playing for about a year, but of course the F and B chords still present a challenge. I am a lot better at F than at B or Bm.  Thanks again!
