Prophesy (Bass)

By Bass Levite

By Christian City Church Oxford Falls. This song is strange because the tempo AND key changes between verses, prechorus and chorus.



Play this when the choir sings the word "prophesy!"

-----------------------
-3-3-3-5-3-5-----------
-------------5-3-3-----
-------------------3-3-

-----------------3---
-------------3h5---5-
-1-1-3-3-5-5---------
---------------------

Play a low G before going into verse.

Chorus:

The chords are these. You will notice that I added some pentatonic scales at the end when transitioning from the D chord to the G chord. I have excluded it on purpose so that the reader can make up their own stuff.

| G | Am | C | Em D |

The chorus is much easier to play than the riffs in the tag, verse and prechorus!


Before the lead guitar does the solo after the chorus, the bass plays:

-----5h7r5-4-------(5)-
---5---------5---------
-3-------------5-3-----
-----------------------

() indicates harmonics

---------5---5---------
-5---5-7---7---7-5-----
---7---------------7-5-
-----------------------

Then play chorus again as the lead guitar solos.
