Glory Be To God by Hillsongs

Glory Be To God
Words & Music: Stuart Townend, Matt Maher & Kelly Minter (Hillsongs)

Original recording is played with Capo set to 5th fret. While
the first chord is written "G", the sound played from the strings
is "C". Adjust the position of the Capo to your preference.

Fingering suggestions:
G       3 X 0 0 3 3
        2       3 4 <- Fingers used, left hand

D4/F#   2 0 0 2 3 3
        1     2 3 4 <- Fingers used, left hand

Em7     0 2 2 0 3 3
          1 2   3 4 <- Fingers used, left hand

C2      X 3 2 0 3 3
          2 1   3 4 <- Fingers used, left hand

Bm      X 2 4 4 3 2
          1 4 3 2 1 <- Fingers used, left hand (barre chord)

This fingering keeps the 3rd and 4th fingers in
place for a high-end drone effect. While not
necessary, it is what gives the music its character.
