Can someone please post the chords for "Stir Up the Gif
« on: July 09, 2003, 11:34:15 AM »
I was wondering if someone could post the chords for the old song "Stir Up the Gift" or "So Good", by the Colorado Mass choir.  I would really appreciate it.  Thanks in advance...Pk2k3

Here are the chords; however, I encourage you to try and pick this and any other songs up by ear (whether it's note for note, then adding on from there), you'll noitice that this songs has the the same progression just about throughout it:
 

Stir Up The Gift
(words and music by Rudolph Stanfield)
(recorded by Joe Pace & Colorado Mass Choir)
(arranged by Eric P)
(Key of Gb)

Verse:
God has not given us the spirit of fear,
but the Lord has given us, power.

Bridge:
Power and love,
His joy and peace,
His happiness,
He has given us a strong mind
(repeat)

Chorus:
Never should I be afraid (2x).

Vamp 1:
Stir up the gift.

Vamp 2:
Lay Your hands on me,
stir up the gift.

Vamp 3:
Touch me Lord,
stir up the gift.

Chorus

Ending:
Stir up the gift.

Thanks Long fingers.  I am still in the stages of developing my ear and I couldn't quite pick out the chords over all of the instruments.  I've tried improvising but maybe it's just me my it doesn't sound right.  Thank you again.

Stay blessed,

You're welcome. Just keep practicing everyday for about 2 hour or more and you'll become better. What I do is just listen to a song over and over until I'm blocking out the vocals and concentrating on what the instrument I want to hear is playing. There's  no one way to learn how to play by ear, but that's what I do sometimes, it may work for you.
