Holy is the Lord

Here are two versions of Holy is the Lord - the first by Bethany Dillon, and the second by Chris Tomlin. I've capo-ed the guitar in two ways as the two songs are in different keys, and used different fingerings.

In case you can't hear the chords clearly, I've played them without the background music at the end of the video.



Tabs

Bethany Dillon version (key = D)
I've kept the E and B strings open on the first version - doing so makes the chords sound more complex, and also makes it easier to get the fingering right. Capo the 5th fret.

Now that you've learnt the fingerings, try out other songs like 'How Great is Our God' on the acoustic with the capo too.
