Chords for "If You See My Savior" (1980) Thomas Dorsey

_ That song published in
the Gospel Pearls by
the Sunday School Publishing Board of
the National Baptist Convention,
USA in 1922. _
And [D] Dorsey [Ebm] received no pay.
[Ab] _
This was the only source to which
aspiring young religious composers
had to publish their work. _
As a professional musician
[Db] who made his music a vocation,
[D] he could not have [Fm]
survived
by giving away music. _ _

he opened his own publishing business,
[Eb] Thomas A.
Dorsey Music Publishers in
Chicago and [F] published
the first gospel song in manuscript form.
_ _ [A] Dorsey became the first
independent publisher of gospel music.
_ And this is what the world heard in _ _ 1929.

[C] Church, I [F] was standing by the [A] bedside of a [Eb] neighbor
_ [Ab] _
_ [G] who was [F] just _ _ _ _ [B] swelling [C] _ tired. _
