Guide me Over Thy Great Jehovah
« on: May 13, 2015, 06:47:04 AM »
Greetings to you all. I know that this may sound odd but do anyone have the chords to the old spiritual Guide Me Over Thy Great Jehovah Pilgrim thru this barren land.....Guidddddde....etc.
It is song when the deacons sing it at the beginning of service. I know that it is only chords but I am yet to know how to pick it up.

I remember the deacon's moaning this at prayer time. But I don't remember if there was music.

Most churches don't put music to those old hymns, but ours do, lol. Here are some basic chords that can get you through hymns like these:

Key Cm  LH/RH

Cm: C / Eb-G-C  Guide me
Gm7: G / F-Bb-D  ohhh Thou
Cm: C / Eb-G-C  great Je-
Gm7: G / F-Bb-D  hovah,
Gm7 or G7#5: G / F-Bb-D, F-G-B-Eb  pilgrim
Cm: C / Eb-G-C  through this
Cm: C / Eb-G-C  barren
G7#5 or G7#5#9: G / F-G-B-Eb  or  G / B-Eb-F-Bb  land,

(stop, let them read the next lines)

Cm: C / Eb-G-C  I am
Cm: C / Eb-G-C  weak, but
Fm7: F / Eb-Ab-C  Thou art
Cm: C / Eb-G-C  mighty,
Cm: C / Eb-G-C  hold me
Gm7: G / F-Bb-D  with Thou
Gm7 or G7#5: G / F-Bb-D, F-G-B-Eb  powerful
Cm: C / Eb-G-C  hand,


That's pretty much the basic pattern that I stick to. When you're stuck on a particular chord for a long time, you can make it flow better by putting a little bass line with it or adding in some runs and stuff.
