[Abm] I walk through the valley [Dbm] of the shadow of death
[Ab] And I fear [Abm] no evil
Cause [Ebm] I'm blind to it all
[Gb] In [Ab] my [Abm] mind, in my gun, comfort [Dbm] me
Cause [Abm] I know I'll kill my [Ebm] enemies [Db] when they [Abm] come
[N]
The entire intro is made up of notes from the E minor chord, which means that we'll be holding the E minor position for the duration of the section.
Once we have our fingers in place, we'll start [Ab] by playing the low E, then the D, B, [Abm]
G, and finally D again.
[Ab] [Abm]
[Bb] [Abm] Now I'm using my thumb [Ab] to play the open E, my index to play the second fret of the D string, middle finger to [Abm] play the open B, and then back to my index to play the second frets of the G and D.
That's just my personal preference, feel free to use [Gbm] whichever fingers you find easiest.
This sequence of 5 notes is all we need to play the intro.
We'll be playing the sequence a total of 4 [Ab] times like this.
[Abm]
The next section is the first verse, which is made up of notes taken from 3 different chords.
E minor, [Dbm] A minor, and B minor.
[Ebm]
[Gb] Just like in the intro, we'll be using our fingers to play the notes.
The chord progression for the rest of the song is going to be E minor, A minor, E minor, B minor, and so on.
We'll start by making the E minor chord shape with our left hand, and then we'll play the same [Ab] 5 notes that we learned in the intro.
Low E, D, [Abm] B, G, and then back to D.
[F] This chord lasts for 2 counts, so we'll play the [Ab] sequence twice.
[Abm]
The next [G] chord is going to be A minor.
Once we have our fingers in place, [Fm] we'll hit the A [Db] string, then the [Dbm] D, B, G, and then back to D.
[G] This chord also lasts for 2 [Abm] counts, so we'll play [Db] the sequence twice.
[Dbm]
[Em] After that, we go back to the E minor [Ab] sequence for 2 counts, [Abm] and then we get B minor for 2 counts.
[Gb] We'll make a B [E] minor shape with our left hand, and then we'll play the same sequence of strings that we played for A minor.
[Eb] So that's A, [Ebm] D, B, G, and back to D.
And now we have all the information we need to play the entire verse.
Let's go through it once to see what it sounds like.
If you want to sing and play at the same time, I've tried to make it a little easier by color coding some of the words.
The words that use the same color as the [Abm] notes are sung at approximately the same time as the [Gb] first note [Abm] of the corresponding sequence.
Alright, let's give it a try.
[Dbm] [Ab] [Abm]
[Ebm] [Ab] [Abm]
[Dbm] [Abm]
[Ebm] [Abm] Before we go to the next section, I just want [N] to quickly point out that the final 3 chords in the verse last for only 1 count instead of 2.
The final section that we'll be learning is the second verse.
It uses the exact same chord progression as the first verse, which is E minor, A minor, E minor, B minor.
This time, instead of fingerpicking the notes, we'll play the same chord progression as the first verse.
Instead of picking specific notes, we're going to be strumming each chord.
The pattern is fairly straightforward.
It'll be down followed by down, up, up 3 times, and then down, up.
It should [Abm] sound like this.
Down, down, up, up, down, up, up, down, up, up, down, up.
Alright, let's give it a try with some lyrics.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow [Dbm] me all the days of my life
[Abm] And I will dwell on this earth [Ebm] forevermore
[Abm] Said I walk beside the still waters and [Dbm] they disturb my soul
[Abm] But I can't walk on [Ebm] the path of the right [Abm] because I'm wrong
But I can't walk on [Ebm] the path of the right because [Abm] I'm wrong
And just like [N] in the first verse, the final 3 chords in this section last for half as long as the other chords.
Which means that we only need to strum these chords 6 times instead of the usual 12.
Alright, that's about it.
Hope you guys enjoyed this lesson.
