This is about the easiest song on the planet to learn. It.Is.Four.Chords.
G - D - Asus - Em - That's it. The chord progression continues throughout the whole
song. The word-timing can be tricky but the chords fall perfectly on the 1-count of a
4/4 measure.
GLORY By Big Daddy Weave
(A4 = Asus)
(D2 = D without fretting the high E string)
Verse 1:
G D2
As the distant sun settled in Western Bethlehem
A4 Em
Without a place to stay and Mary's weary face
G D2
It'd be easy to wanna give up now or at least complain
A4 Em
If not for what she'd seen and heard the angel say
Verse 1 cont'd:
To say she's great with child seems more than simply understating
Considering the greatness of this child that ages have foretold
And these seem like such inadequate surrou-ndings
The king of all born in a cattle stall now bringin'
Chorus:
G D2 A4 Em
Glory, glory, glory to God in the highest
Glory, glory, glory to God in the highest

Verse 2:
Our years have passed through centuries the story lived on
And though I wasn't there myself, I believe it’s true
Cause that baby came grew up to pay the price for mankind
My sin is gone and He lives right here in my heart now singin'
Chorus:
Glory, glory, glory to God in the highest
Glory, glory, glory to God in the highest

In our hearts you made your home
Glory, glory, glory to you God
Chorus:
Glory, glory, glory to God in the highest
Glory, glory, glory to God in the highest
Glory, glory, glory to God in the highest
