More chords by Misc Cartoons
Genre: pop, children's, christian
This is the entire song, ALL TWELVE VERSES. It is based on the Chris Rice
extended version
(found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnzRtgVhHbM) from the Jonah
soundtrack.
No other tab on this website takes the KEY CHANGES into account. I
unfortunately have been quite
frustrated trying to play this wonderful song, so I decided to just create my
own tab. There are
5 separate key changes --one after every two verses. It changes by +1 each
key change. You can
either follow these chords as they are written, or to simplify it slide your
CAPO up one fret each
key change (and continue with the G-C-F chords from the first verse/chorus).
I play mostly on the ukulele, and these chords are much easier to play with
the ukulele. So if you
are a guitar player discouraged with this song's tricky chords (and you're
better at the ukulele),
go ahead and switch over. For the claps in each chorus, I slam down on the
strings with the beds of
my four fingernails, since I strum with my thumb.
