Redemption Song Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

G Em7 C G/B Am Em D Dsus4

Notes: The Dsus after the D in the last line of the verses isn't required. I play

it to give the song a slightly higher pitch right leading into the chorus. When

you play it, make sure you hit the first string U/U/D/U and then change back to a

D after that U/U/D/U strumming sequence. Give it a try, I think it sounds better

that way. Also, on the 4th line of second and third verses, Marc mutes the C

chord right after switching to it and finishes the line "a cappella." Then start

up with G again normally on the next line. Same thing with the last line on the

third verse - mute the G and then it's a cappella until the G in the beginning of the chorus.
