Key of A

Praise (A) - Elevation Worship feat Brandon Lake, Chris Brown & Chandler Moore

  • Chords: A, Bm, D, E, F#m (I, ii, IV, V, vi) (The is harder than the ones above, but once you get the D down, then you can use your pointer finger as a reference for A and E. E is the same formation as Am, just each of your fingers moves up 1 string on the neck. The F#m is a barre chord off of the Em. You will get it with some practice.)

  • Play along with the Video - It is a play-along video with the chords.
