Hey there! This is my first posted chord chart, but I've been making them for a
few years now, for my church and for myself.
This is based off of what I heard on Bob Carlisle's Youtube account.
As a bass player, I've marked out what the bass is playing by using slash chords
(i.e. Dm/C, C/E, F/A, etc...)
For those who are unfamiliar with the concept of slash chords, here's a quick explanation:
The first part,Dm, is the chord that's being played,
while the second part after the slash, C, is the note sustained by the bassist.
Also, when I place a <> by a chord, that means to hold a chord and let it ring out.
Enjoy!
