My Redeemer Is Faithful and True Steven Curtis Chapman Drop tuned a half a step Not sure if he down tunes all the time, but he was on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpNr1Mjkvow Intro: D D/F# G D D/F# G Verse 1:

^DAs I ^D/F#look back on this r^Goad I’ve traveled ^DI see so ^D/F#many times He’s ^Gcarried me through ^AAnd if there??^A#dim?s one thing that I’^Bmve learned in ^Esusthis l^Eife Em A D Dsus4 dsus2 D My Redeemer is faithful and true

Chorus

^D/F#My Red^Geemer is f^Aaithful and t^Drue ^D/F#And everyt^Ghing He has ^Asaid He^A#dim will ^Bmdo ^Bm/A And every m^G(Gmaj7)orning His me^Arcie^A#dims are ^Bmnew ^Esus ^E Em9 A D Dsus4 dsus2 D My Redeemer is faithful and true

Verse 2

^DMy heart r^D/F#ejoices when I r^Gead the promise ^DThere is a ^D/F#place that I’m pr^Geparing for you ^AI know so^A#dimmeday I’ll see m^Bmy Lord face to^Esus face ^E Em A D Dsus4 dsus2 D ‘Cause my Redeemer is faithful and true

Bridge:

A^Dnd ^D/C# in e^Bmvery si^A7/C#tuation He has p^Groved His love t^D/F#o me Bm Esus E Em9 A13sus A13 When I lack the understanding, He gives more grace to me

Chorus 2: Jesus is faithful and true Notes: The Em9 and A13sus and A13 are very droning chords. He also slips in a Gmaj7 sometimes on the chorus If the Em9 and A13's are tough for you just sub an Em and A7 for those. With the A#dim just play an A7 chord and add the 1st fret of the 5th string. When moving from the A13sus to the A13 he hammers slightly from the 2nd string 3rd fret to the 5th. These droning string chords really add to the=at SCC sound. The D sue4 to Dsus2 thing is very James Taylor like. Take a D chord and hammer on the 1st string 3rd fret, pull off and then open 1st string for the Dsus2 \and back on to the 2nd fret for the regular D chord.
