Hey LGM fam, I've decided to do something a little different. A lot of people have requested chords for this particular song, "Shift This Place" by Youthful Praise. I don't particularly want to play the song, but I've given myself a challenge to figure these chords out.
So far, it's bout the 2nd most difficult song I ever started learning. What I'm gonna do is post what I have figured out so far. The reason for this is to give yall an example of how I approach learning a song. Like the title said, it's a work in progress, so it's not done yet, LOL. Here's what I got:

That's a lot right? Yeah, I sorta got the gist of what's going on by figuring out the bass notes first, but there are some weird chords in there I have to study for a minute. I'm not sure if all those chords I have already are correct, but it's a start.
Feel free to add in something I've left out until I come back with more additions. Be back later!!!
