1. Mighty to Save: Hillsong (2009)
Intro: D A F#m E. The intro guitar plays the notes A, B C# starting on the 3rd (G)
String, 14th fret. If you’ve never played triplets over 4/4 time it
can be tricky at first. It is always one note short so it ‘cycles’
through every 3rd, 6th , and 9th bar. Play it through and you’ll
understand.
Verse 1
D A
Well everyone needs compassion,
F#m
Love that's never failing,
E
Let mercy fall on me,
D A
Everyone needs forgiveness,
F#m
The kindness of a saviour,
E
The hope of nations,
Pre chorus: D E D E Normal D major, move the D shape up to the 4th fret but since its
moved a note higher, its now E, play only the first three strings. Go
back down to the D major chord on the second fret. Instead of
playing the F# on the 2nd fret 1st string, play the shape and add the A
note on the first string, 5th fret with your little finger. Now move that
shape up to the 4th fret and you’ll have the final E chord in the
progression.
Chorus: Only percussion and acoustic guitars with organ.

Notes: 1. Two delays and a filter on the lead intro riff, reminds me of the U2 sound.
2. A wah pedal on the 2nd guitar.
3. Violins and horns are expected to have ideas for integration into the song.
4. Everyone is expected to have the chords ready by next practice.
