Holy God - Highway 180
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a song from the band Highway 180. It will be in their upcoming album in
spring of 2013. This is the bands own work, and is to be used only for giving God
the glory, not for personal benefit.
Chords used:
A D E
e|-X--2--0--|
B|-2--3--0--|
G|-2--2--1--|
D|-2--0--2--|
A|-0--X--2--|
E|-X--X--0--|
Capo 2 - Key: A
Intro: A-D-E-(E) (2x)
The chords in the intro are strummed once, the (E) means to hold it for a second
measure. The verse is played the same way.
Verse 1:
A D
He formed the waters
E
He laid the earth's foundations
A D
Made every man
E
And governs the nations
A-D-E-(E) (Same as intro)
A D
Lovingly He made us
E
The people of God
A D
What a great
E
Awesome Father
A-D-E-(E) (Same as intro)
The last measure of the E chord above is the start of the first line of the
chorus. Play each chord in the chorus for one measure except for the E chord which
is played for two. The chorus is played with the same tempo as the intro and verse.
Chorus:
A D E
You are holy, holy God
A D E
You are higher, higher Lord
A D E
You are greater, greater God
D E A D E (E)
And we will worship You
A-D-E-(E)
(Starting with the A chord at the end of the chorus, play the chords the same as
intro except that the tempo is picked up so that you are now playing a strumming pattern)

Verse 2: (Continue into the verse with the more upbeat tempo)
A D
He loved His people
E
And gave them victory
A D
Led their armies
E
And they gave Him glory
A-D-E-(E)
A D
He gave them grace
E
When they had none
A D
Gave them love
E
When they had run
A-D-E-(E)
(Chorus)
The bridge is played with more intensity than the rest of the song, but is played
the exact same way as the chorus, just more words. The A and D are held for one
measure each and the E chord is held for two.
Bridge:
A D
You came to this earth
E
And You died on a tree
A D
You were flogged and beaten
E
All because of me
A D
You loved so much
E
The creatures You made
A D
That You died on a cross
E
That we might be saved
Go straight into the chorus from the end of the bridge, but only play the first
three lines. Play those three lines three times, full tempo for the first two,
then single strum for each chord the third time. End with the following:
End:
D E A D E (E)
And we will worship You
A-D-E-A (Play same as intro except that the final A is played instead of holding the E chord)
Instead of playing that ending, you could play a small solo piece, but it is your
choice. Here is our solo piece to end the song. (The lyrics are at the bottom,
hold the chord indicated at the top to make it easier)
