kimichan - 2004-09-02
xx4442 is the easy way or you can do 224442 but that's baring = harder
you can also do a power B which is x24400 hope that helps

C#m sounds better played as x46650, there u go. thnx
xtreme4god - 2004-09-08
ya it sounds ver minor that way, like it should. but i prefer just playin it x46600
OneGrlArmy - 2004-09-11
Great job. Where it says to play C#m, you could just play E and it sounds fine. Also, another way to play B is 799800. Play it with E (079900) and A (577600) and it's a really easy song to play.

thankz 1girlarmy, that's an awesome way play it.

For the chord C# I play it as C#m7 which is played X42400 and I think it's a lot easier to play other than the barred chords....mainly because I'm a dork and really lazy so hopefully that'll help most of you all:)

I don't like playing bar chords. I usually play Bsus in substitute for B. Bsus: x24400. Works like magic. ;-)

Hi Brothers and Sisters. I would like to know which Bible passage/verse inspired the words to this song? Thanks so much.
Guitar101 - 2005-01-07
The chord is C#m7. But,I think it sounds better using 046600.
Guitar101 - 2005-01-07
I think that the chords sound better using
E 0 9 11 11 0 0 C#m7 046600
Bsus 024400 Asus2 002200

OneGirlArmy does have the right idea. I have found its a popular way to play, at least around Michigan, and this is the way I play it the most, and the way I teach it to others when giving lessons. One addition though. When playing the Open E chord (079900), I change with the beat, meaning strum the open E -(079900), then strum (079800) back and forth, using your pinky and middle finger to change with. Then I switch to the open A (577600), and on the chorus, slide up to the open B (799800), then back to the E. This way is a little higher to sing, but kids can pick it up easy, and you don't need the bar B. Peace.

The way I learned to play it came straight from a chord sheet from their website. I start the verse strumming an E (022100) then after a couple beats switch to an EMaj7 (012200) then go to the A2 (002200); that just repeats for the verse. For the chorus I start strumming A2 (002200) the go to a Bsus2 (024400) then back to an E (022100). I think that's pretty much it. I played it along with the cd and it sounds dead on to me. I hope that helps.

GREAT WAY TO PLAY IT ONEGIRLARMY
elessar_ii - 2005-06-25
if you want to change the quality of the chords a little or play along with someone else try these chords:
E - 0 7 9 9 0 0
A - 0 7 7 6 0 0
B - 0 9 9 8 0 0
C#m - 0 11 11 9 0 0

I love this song so much! I played it a t the Talent Show at my school in front of 700+ people. The way I play it is with all A2's instead of A's.
This gives it an open sound. But then in the verse's switch quickly from A2 to A then back to A2. Other than that great job. God Bless!
Tbow8938389 - 2005-09-04
I want to play this in the talent show at my school September 30, 2005, but I just can't get the strumming down for some odd reason.
Can someone explain the licks for the chords?????????
Thanx

The chords are pretty much correct, but it doesn't have that piano sound. This is how I play the chords.
E5 - 022450
E7M - 022440
A2 - x02200
B4 - x24400
C#m - x46650
The transgression goes like this:
Verse - E5 E5 E7M
E5 E5 E7M
A2 A2 A2
A2 A2 A2
Chorus - A2 B4 E5 E7M E5 E7M
A2 B4 E5 E7M E5 E7M
A2 B4
Outro - A2 B4 C#m
A2 B4 C#m B4
A2 B4 E5

its all good
riccrouch - 2005-12-06
Easiest way to play a B? Don't think I'm being flip, but the easiest if you capo 2 and play in D. Does it sound exactly the same? No, but then, I'm not getting paid what Mercy Me does to play it either! ;)
For those trying to learn it quickly, just break out the capo, and then the whole song is just D G A and Bm.
And that and six bucks will buy you a coffee at Starbucks!

a c#m is jus a B 2 frets awy
GodsKid90 - 2006-09-01
Um. No offense, but after the "4-0-0" and the "1-2-0" That second 1-2-0 doesn't sound right, right after the first two parts, it adds in a different key number then jusr 1-2-0 twice over. It just doesn't sound right to me when I play it on my guitar.
AITEE - 2006-12-06
Hey, that second 1-2-0 is right on. If you listen to the recording you will notice that the second 1-2-0 is a triplet and therefore you must play it faster(3 notes in one beat) and that is why its sounds weird to you.
cutietootie554 - 2007-01-03

E Emaj7
I can only imagine
What it will be like
A2
When I walk
By your side
E Emaj7
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
A2
When your face
Is before me
E Emaj7
I can only imagine
A2 B
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
E
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
A2 B
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
E
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
A2 B
I can only imagine
E Emaj7
I can only imagine
When that day comes
A2
And I find myself
Standing in the Son
E Emaj7
I can only imagine
When all I will do
A2
Is forever
Forever worship You
E Emaj7
I can only imagine

i thought you werent supposed to post the lyrics.
NashvilleDan - 2007-05-01
I think jdill had a typo.. I believe the Emaj7 should be 021100 This is a very sweet sound alternating back and forth with the standard E chord 022100 .
And for the general public, I've seen an incorrect word usage in many tabs pages using the word "transgression". It's just Wrong! Playing thru a tab sheet is a CHORD PROGRESSION .... A transgression is something you've done wrong against your neighbor or God Himself. I don't want to be preachy but good english usage is slipping away too fast. Thanks for reading this far.
cowgirl29 - 2007-12-28

pedman6 - 2008-05-21
