Selah - You Raise Me Up guitar chord

You Raise Me Up

Selah

I just listened to this a half dozen times and attempted to translate piano to

acoustic. This is just my translation. I think its pretty but a little

difficult in some places but hopefully these chords will help you.

xx3211 F

x13331 Bb or x133xx (easy Bb)

x32010 C

xx0231 Dm

x02210 Am

320033 G

x32033 C2 (Cadd2)

xx0232 D

x20033 Cb

022033 Em

xx0233 Dsus4 (optional)

For the second time through the chorus I like to keep the third fret of the

last two strings covered throughout - one, because it is really easy to play

all the chords, and two, I think it sounds beautiful that way. I use this on

all but the D chord which an optional Dsus4 – D lick could be added just to

make it sound prettier.

There is a wind instrument playing before the second chorus and is a little

hard to translate to acoustic (translating piano is challenging as well) so I

just did my best to follow with what I thought would sound the best.

Note the key changes from the first chorus to the second and from the second

chorus to the second verse. And the end may sound better a’capela than trying

to accompany with guitar. Personally, I like singing it more than playing it.

And if ANYONE knows an easier way to play the Bb I have listed, me and my

fingers would be much obliged to hear from you. Here you go – You Raise Me Up:
