Chords for My God Is Awesome (Piano Breakdown)

_ Alright, what's up YouTube?
My name is Jonathan, and I'm coming to you with another video tutorial
With J plays keys today.
I'm doing a very popular song called awesome by Charles Jenkins.
I've heard it in
Pretty much every key.
I'm gonna do it in the key of C sharp and
This is one of the songs where you can use the same chords for the verse that you use for the chorus that you use
For the vamp so once you learn
This the pattern of the song you can play the entire song so should be pretty quick today
As always I'll play the song through one time or two times, and then I'll break down the chords for you.
Let's go
[Bb] _ _ [Bbm] _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
[Gb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] All right, that's it so those are literally the chords you use through the whole song
So let me go ahead and break them down for you again.
We're in the key of C sharp
_ _ I usually play this this melody my god [Db] is
_ Awesome, so it's a good way to to start out the song so [Bb] it's
_ You're gonna get that F.
So I kind of go from the E flat E F
_ my F E [Bbm] flat C sharp [Ab] B flat a flat [Db] and then
into your
C sharp chord okay, and I'm gonna break down the left hand [Bb] first so
[Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
C sharp
_ Awesome C sharp with that a flat in the middle
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ Then you go to this a flat [Ab] here _ _ _ _ _ a flat E flat and a flat
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ B flat B flat F B flat _
[Bbm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ Then that F sharp F sharp C F sharp _ then [Db] _
it does it again, okay, so _ _ _
C sharp
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ A-flat _ B [Bbm] _
flat
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
F sharp and then back
_ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Db] Then in your right hand you're gonna play this C sharp chord, and you can make it
_ big if you want to
_ Play it wherever you want to on the keyboard.
I'm gonna play it here
_ F a flat and C sharp
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ And then to the a flat chord a flat C E flat _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ And then [Bbm] I'm gonna go to this a flat C C sharp F
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ And then I'm gonna right here
I'm gonna play that F sharp B flat and C sharp so you can see I'm kind of playing a lot of the melody
So it depends on how you want to play the song because you can just play the song and [Bb] just play
_ _ [Db] _ _ _
And then let the choir sing heals me
[Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] You can just play the chords _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ Okay, but usually you're gonna play a little [Bb] bit of a melody here, so here's how you play it now that I showed you the chords
[Bbm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
And then C sharps
[Ebm] _ E flat
[Db] _
_ [Ab] F then into that a flat chord a flat C E flat and
_ _ then
E flat [Fm] E flat F [Gb] F sharp
_ _ And into this chord a flat C [Bbm] C sharp F and
_ _ then F [Eb] E flat [Bbm] C [Cm] sharp C
[Gb] _
And then hit this chord F F sharp a flat B flat C sharp
Okay, let me call out the words [F] to [Bb] my God is
_ [Db] _ _ _
Some he can
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] Now
_ tens
_ Keep me [Fm]
in [Bbm] the
_ Valley _ _
[Eb] Hide me [Bbm] from [Gb] the rain _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ All right, [Db] so make sure you're watching the keyboard to see what's what's popping up.
I'm just gonna play _
One bass here, so you can see where the right hand is and the left hand is so
[Bbm] _ _ [Db] _ C sharp chord _ _
_ _ _ So he [Ebm] can
[Bb] _ [Ab] _ Now tens keep [Eb] me in [Db] the valley _ _ _
[Bb] Hide me from the from the [Gb] rain
_ _ Okay, that's it _ _
[Db] _ _ All right, so now you know the song _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ Some _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ Some _ _ [Gb] _ oh
So on the course you basically just play the chords on the course [Bb] so
_ _ [Db] _
_ And they'll just repeat awesome _ [Ab] a flat chord and
_ _ Then B flat minor
[Bbm] _ _ Not add this see right there
[Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ Some and then they go to the verse
[Bb] _ _ [Db]
My God is awesome
_ Heals me when [Ab] I'm broke _ again
_ strength [Bbm] where I've been
_ again forever
He will [Gb] reign _ _ _
[Ab] _ Forever
_ _ _ [Db] And then whatever I do the verse the chorus or go to the vamp _
[Bb] Usually the choir whoever's leading the choir will take them to different parts of the song
But you as a musician on this song all you got to do is just keep [Db] playing
_ C sharp [Ab] a
flat
[Bbm] _ _ B flat minor _ _ _
[Gb] _ F sharp [Eb] then
_ _ [Db] _
All right, that was a song.
