Chords for The Best Samples From Kanye West's 'Sunday Service' | Genius News

_ _ [Bbm] _ Kanye West's Sunday service is the performance arm of Yeezy's recent turn to gospel music.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [B] Beginning in January 2019 as an invite-only gathering at his Calabasas, California home,
Sunday service has moved everywhere [Gm] from the Adidas headquarters to the hills of Coachella
to most recently at an AME church in Queens, New York.
While Kanye is present at every Sunday service, the primary voices heard are the Samples Choir
led by Jason White.
It's just the idea that we had to open up _ our hearts and make music that we felt was
as pure and as positive [Ab] as possible.
Kanye first mentioned the name Sunday Service on 2012's New God Flow.
Welcome to Sunday Service if you hope for Sunday Service
We got green in our eyes, let's follow my eggs from a ditch
Moses' neck for the water with the change in
Strippers now make a call when I [G] made it rain
The Samples, in coordination with Ye, lead audiences in holy renditions of Mr.
West's hits like,
Through the Wire which becomes Through the [C] Fire
_ [Bm] _
_ [E] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
[F] _ [E] _ [Dm] _ [Am] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] _
[Gm] as _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
well _ [A] as Ultra Light [Eb] Beam.
_ [Ab] _
_ This is a God dream, this is a [G] God dream
[Bbm]
[Db] We're on an ultra light beam, [Abm] we're [B] on an ultra _ [Bbm] _ light beam
This is a God dream, this is everyday
But _ _ it's not just Kanye cuts.
Other contemporary hits get similar treatment.
[Ebm] They cover Travis Scott and Drake's sicko mode.
13 hours till I land, have me out like a light, [Bb] like a light, [Ebm] like a [Em] light
Jesus Christ [G] is the light, [D] [Em] he's the light, he's the [Gm] light, healed by his [F] stripes
Legendary rock band Nirvana smells like teen spirit and come as you are.
We're the light, [Bb] _ [Ab] _ [Db] _
[F] here we are now
[Ab] We're _ [C] [E] the [A] light, here we are now
[Gm] It's so gracious, [C] [E] it's so [A] righteous
[Gm] It's so [C] gracious, [E] hey
No Doubt's, Don't Speak became Lord Speaks, which drew heartfelt praise from the band's
frontwoman Gwen Stefani.
She said quote,
I'm in shock hearing this song turn into a worship song at Kanye's Sunday service.
I literally [Fm] started crying.
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [C] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Fm] _ Lord [Db] speak, we know [Eb] your words bring healing
[C] The day was real, [Bbm] we're feeling, please [E] help us [Fm] cause it hurts
Mariah Carey had similar words for Ye after hearing her 1997 cut,
my [A] all get the Sunday service spin.
She wrote quote,
This choir is killing this arrangement and [Gm] song.
I need to speak to whoever put the arrangement together and rewrote the lyrics.
Beautiful.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [F] Singer Sia even joined in while at a Sunday service on Kanye's holy rendition [D] of Elastic Heart.
_ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ [Bb] But the [N] reception isn't all love.
After the Clark Sisters' 1980 gospel cut,
Hi-Ya was redone at Kanye's Easter Sunday Coachella appearance,
they posted their thanks but made sure to [Gbm] include that quote,
We own the rights to this music.
Kanye also interpolated Tracee Chapman, who was notoriously protective of her music
by turning her 1988 cut, Fast Car, into Great God.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ [D] _ [Gbm] _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
Now gospel covers of popular songs are not anything new and have been happening in churches
for decades.
[Ab] One example, Nick Jonas' gospel version of his song,
Jealous has more than 15 million [C] views on YouTube.
Kanye is said to be focusing on gospel music for the rest of his career,
so this is probably not the last time we'll see him cover a secular song with a religious twist.
