Alright, hi, this is an instructional video for the song Speak O Lord by Christian Getty.
So first of all for this song, it's played in the key of G sharp.
What you can do is take the capo, put it over here on your first fret, [Gb] and we'll be using
a G [Ab] pattern to play the song.
The chords for the intro first of all will be just an E minor, [Fm] C or C9.
[Bb] [Eb] So this E minor here, notice my last two fingers are on the third fret of the first and second
string, this is [Gb] relative to the capo, so 1, 2, [G] 3, third fret.
So over here there's an [Cm] E minor, C or C.
Strumming pattern for the intro will just be a simple 4 beat strumming pattern which
is down, down, down, up, down, down, up.
So if you were to count it, 4 beats, it'll sound like this.
1, 2, 3, 4, [Fm] 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
[Bb]
[Cm]
Into your verse.
So the chords for the verse, E minor, speak, D to F sharp, [Eb] bass, O, [Ab] Lord to G.
So this D to F sharp, you just move [G] your index and your middle finger, so your index you
can move it up to the 6th string, 2nd fret, your middle finger move it down to the 3rd
string, 2nd fret, and over [Am] here when you strum it, [Eb] you'll be focusing on the top few strings,
the bass strings.
[Fm] So speak, D to F [Eb] sharp, bass, O, Lord to G, [Ab] then as we come, [Bb] C, C, U, G slash [F] B.
Over
here, what a G slash B is, is just a G, [Gb] but without the middle finger.
[Ab] So those are the [Eb] notes that you'll be playing.
[Bb] So as we come to [Ab] U, to receive [Fm] C, food, [Ab] G slash B, of your holy word, E minor, holy
word, D F [Eb] sharp, then repeat again, take your [Ab]
truth, [Fm] so it's E minor, [Eb] D F sharp, [Ab] G,
planted deep, [Db] C, in us, [Ab] G slash B, shape and fashion, [Bb] C, us, G slash B, C, [Bbm] in your D, [Eb] likeness,
back to your [Ab] G.
And after that you can get to something like the chorus.
[Eb] So this is how it sounds like for the verse, basically you're just playing a lot of the
beats here, so I'll play it once through and then I'll explain.
3, 4, [Cm] speak, [Eb] O, [Ab] Lord, I'll slow it down so it's easier to learn, [Cm] speak, [Eb] O, [Ab] Lord, [Bb] as we
come to U, to receive the food, of [Cm]
[Eb] [Cm] G, [Eb] take [Ab] your truth, [Bb] planted deep [Ab] in us, [Bb] shape and
fashion, us, in your D.
[Eb] [Ab] So if you notice there are a lot of one beat chords, [Fm] like speak, [B]
[Ab] O, Lord, so that's your
one [Eb] beat for E minor, one beat for your D F sharp, Lord, you can [Ab] just play Lord, down,
down, up, two beats.
[Fm] So it's 1, [Ab] 1, 2, [Bb] C, 2.
[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Abm] So you notice the other chords are just two beats, and how you play the two beats, how
you strum it is just [E] basically, let's play with G, [Ab] down, down, down, up, so you go 1,
2, down, up, and then you change your next chord.
So one more time, it's just for speak, O, Lord, that's the only two times for the E
[Fm] minor and the D F sharp, that's where you use one beat.
Speak, [Eb] [Ab] O, Lord.
[Bb] [Ab]
[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Fm] Repeat again.
[Eb] Take [Ab] your truth,
[Db] [Ab] deep in us, [Bb] shape and fashion, us, in your likeness.
So over here, in your likeness, the in is on one beat as well.
So shape and [Ab]
[Eb]
[Bb] fashion, us, in your [Eb] likeness.
And after that, that the light of Christ, that the light, this is a D, light, your [Bb] C,
of [Ab] Christ, G slash B.
So same thing, your D and [Eb] C is one beat each.
Light [Ab] of Christ.
[Eb] [Bb]
[Cm] Light Christ might [Bb] be seen to see, [Ab] today, G slash B, in our acts, [Eb] D, same thing, D and
C is one beat.
Acts of [Ab] love [Eb] and our deeds, [Bb] C, [Eb] our faith, your D, and repeat almost the first [Cm] line again.
Speak, [Eb] O, [Ab] Lord, that [Bb] fulfills C, [Ab] in us, G slash B, [Bb] all your purposes, C, G [Ab] slash B,
and then for [Eb] your glory.
[Ab] So this is how the second part [Abm] of the verse sounds like, [Eb] just strumming and singing.
That the [Bb] light of Christ might be seen [Ab]
today, in our [Eb] acts [Bb] of love [Bb] and our deeds [Eb] of faith.
Speak, [Ab] O, Lord, [Bb] that [Ab] fills in us, [F] all your [Ab] purposes, for [Bb] your glory.
[Ab]
Into the interlude, before you reach the second verse, you just play [Bb] C, four beats,
C, four, [Ab] G slash B, two beats, one, [Eb] two, to your D, two beats.
[F] Repeat the verse [Cm] again, speak, [Ab] O, Lord, and so on.
So that's basically the whole [Gbm] song, and I hope this video [N] helps.
So first of all for this song, it's played in the key of G sharp.
What you can do is take the capo, put it over here on your first fret, [Gb] and we'll be using
a G [Ab] pattern to play the song.
The chords for the intro first of all will be just an E minor, [Fm] C or C9.
[Bb] [Eb] So this E minor here, notice my last two fingers are on the third fret of the first and second
string, this is [Gb] relative to the capo, so 1, 2, [G] 3, third fret.
So over here there's an [Cm] E minor, C or C.
Strumming pattern for the intro will just be a simple 4 beat strumming pattern which
is down, down, down, up, down, down, up.
So if you were to count it, 4 beats, it'll sound like this.
1, 2, 3, 4, [Fm] 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
[Bb]
[Cm]
Into your verse.
So the chords for the verse, E minor, speak, D to F sharp, [Eb] bass, O, [Ab] Lord to G.
So this D to F sharp, you just move [G] your index and your middle finger, so your index you
can move it up to the 6th string, 2nd fret, your middle finger move it down to the 3rd
string, 2nd fret, and over [Am] here when you strum it, [Eb] you'll be focusing on the top few strings,
the bass strings.
[Fm] So speak, D to F [Eb] sharp, bass, O, Lord to G, [Ab] then as we come, [Bb] C, C, U, G slash [F] B.
Over
here, what a G slash B is, is just a G, [Gb] but without the middle finger.
[Ab] So those are the [Eb] notes that you'll be playing.
[Bb] So as we come to [Ab] U, to receive [Fm] C, food, [Ab] G slash B, of your holy word, E minor, holy
word, D F [Eb] sharp, then repeat again, take your [Ab]
truth, [Fm] so it's E minor, [Eb] D F sharp, [Ab] G,
planted deep, [Db] C, in us, [Ab] G slash B, shape and fashion, [Bb] C, us, G slash B, C, [Bbm] in your D, [Eb] likeness,
back to your [Ab] G.
And after that you can get to something like the chorus.
[Eb] So this is how it sounds like for the verse, basically you're just playing a lot of the
beats here, so I'll play it once through and then I'll explain.
3, 4, [Cm] speak, [Eb] O, [Ab] Lord, I'll slow it down so it's easier to learn, [Cm] speak, [Eb] O, [Ab] Lord, [Bb] as we
come to U, to receive the food, of [Cm]
[Eb] [Cm] G, [Eb] take [Ab] your truth, [Bb] planted deep [Ab] in us, [Bb] shape and
fashion, us, in your D.
[Eb] [Ab] So if you notice there are a lot of one beat chords, [Fm] like speak, [B]
[Ab] O, Lord, so that's your
one [Eb] beat for E minor, one beat for your D F sharp, Lord, you can [Ab] just play Lord, down,
down, up, two beats.
[Fm] So it's 1, [Ab] 1, 2, [Bb] C, 2.
[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Abm] So you notice the other chords are just two beats, and how you play the two beats, how
you strum it is just [E] basically, let's play with G, [Ab] down, down, down, up, so you go 1,
2, down, up, and then you change your next chord.
So one more time, it's just for speak, O, Lord, that's the only two times for the E
[Fm] minor and the D F sharp, that's where you use one beat.
Speak, [Eb] [Ab] O, Lord.
[Bb] [Ab]
[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Fm] Repeat again.
[Eb] Take [Ab] your truth,
[Db] [Ab] deep in us, [Bb] shape and fashion, us, in your likeness.
