Chords for Here Is Our King (David Crowder Band) - Lead Electric Guitar Tutorial

[D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ Welcome to the guitar tutorial [B] for Here Is Our King by David Crowder Band. _
I'm kind of covering the album version from A Collision and also this [N] live version that
my church does.
_ _ _ David Crowder Band modifies the way they play this a little bit between the album and the
live one, but I'll cover bits of both.
_ The beginning of it is just chords, it's just a walk-up.
I'm capoed three because the song is in Bb, and it starts just [Bb] like this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So it's just _ chord shapes [Ab] relative to the capo, it's just G, [Bb] G over B, and then kind
of [Gm] a Csus.
So that's the beginning [Abm] and that's also what the [G] rhythm guitar is doing during the chorus.
[Bb] And
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] then the next part you hit is the verse, which is just _ two [Gbm] on [Bb] your A string up to three
on your A [F] string, and then you're using these two strings open, so it's [Bb] just a little. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So that's the whole [Abm] verse.
And [C] then the pre-chorus [B] is just two chords, it's D and then C, but you want to make [Bb] the
C chord shape that has [Abm] three on your high E string, so like [Eb] one of these. _ _
_ Because you want that note in there.
_ So I [N] do the D as the same chord shape up two frets and then just move between them, so
the pre-chorus would be like [F] this. _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And then [A] into the chorus, which again the rhythm guitar is just [Bb] those chords. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ And then there is a [B] lead guitar here, and it's incredibly difficult to pick out on the
recording, but here's what it's doing, because it's a lot more fun to have this in there.
[Bb] You're using the open G string as a drone in this chord, and then have a three on the
B string and a five on the [Ab] D string, so [Bb] one of these.
_ _ That come up a [N] lot in church songs, it's one of my favorite chord shapes.
_ And then the only fret that's moving for most of this is _ the G string, you're going back
and forth between zero, four, two, and such.
So here's the whole chorus lead.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] So that's going underneath all the choruses.
It's this shape, _ _ and then you're adding the third back in on here. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ And then at the [Gb] end you're just doing, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ you've got that dissonant note [Bb] in there, so it's
relative to the [G] capo, five, five, and zero.
[Eb] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] And then the very last time you go up [Eb] to here.
_ _ So here's that chorus [Bb] again. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ And then you go back through the verse.
_ Here's where I'm going to hop over to the live version, because on the album they just
do the second verse same [Ab] as the first one, it's _ just_ _ _ _ _
But on the live version [B] that we do, _ there's a lead over that second verse, and it's kind
of cool, so I'll cover it.
[Ab] It's a [G] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ minor chord [Am] up here that you slide [Eb] into.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So that's just a cool thing that a second [Db] guitar can be doing during that [F] second verse.
Pre-chorus, just those two chords again.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
Then chorus [F] is that thing.
Alright, so this bridge, [Bb] the rhythm guitar and the bass are just doing a walk-up from,
in this case, E [Am] minor, up through the scale, [Gm] so it's kind _ _ _ [F] of_
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ And then [N] what I mainly hear the lead guitar doing is there's these two notes that it puts
between each of those.
So [Eb] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] it's just these two notes, [Gm] _
_ and you could either do the [Bb] chord low and hop up there like
I [Gm] just did, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] or else you could pick chord shapes that are an octave higher so that you're in
kind of the same general part of the [Eb] guitar and do like_ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] _ _
And then [C] the very last time, it keeps ascending, it goes through all of that, [Am] and then it goes
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] to_
So that's that sort of last, finally, [Ab] here is what the [A] vocals are doing.
[G] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
And then it's just chorus and [Ab] then kind of a bridge and out.
So those are the major pieces.
It's a pretty simple song, hopefully that makes it a little bit more fun on guitar.
