What's up everybody, it's Brandon Lake from Bethel Music and this is the We Praise You
tutorial [A] from the tour bus.
Here we go.
I want to teach you how to play this song.
It's a great song for the top of your [B] set.
It's got lots of energy.
It's around 85
beats per minute, BPMs.
And I'm playing [F] it with my trusty [A#] capo, capo 2.
It's in the key of A.
[Am] And I'm playing G shapes because what [E] worship leader doesn't do that?
[A#] This is the [G#m] easiest song
to play.
[E] I'm doing shapes like [A] this and really kind of keeping my, you know, those traditional
worship [F#] leader kind of G [A] shapes.
So the chords you're going to be using are G, [F#m] C, E minor,
[B] C, [Bm] A minor, briefly in the intro.
[Em] So let's get into it.
So basically [A#] the intro, the new intro
is going to go like [A] this.
So one, the G, to the two, A [Bm] minor, to the [D] C, four.
It's got that cool
new little lick on it.
[A]
All [F#m] [D] right.
[G#] And then the verse goes like this.
[A]
Just on the one and into
the four.
Back to the one.
And then you're going to do a little walk down.
[F#]
[E] So that's E minor.
D, [G#] C, just right there on the end of the second line.
And then [A] we sing your name in the dark
and it changes.
Basically same thing.
G to the C.
We are and we claim your victory.
Let it rise.
Let praise [E] arise.
Hold on the four on the C.
[A] The chorus.
We'll see you on the G.
You all see, watch the [F#m] giant fall.
Six.
E minor back to [A] the C.
The God of breakthroughs on our
side.
Forever [F#m] lives in our heart.
With all creation [A] cry God we praise you.
Back to the intro.
That's
one, [D] two, four.
So that whole chorus is just [A] G, C, E minor, C.
[E] Super simple.
All right.
You [B] barely
got to move your finger.
All right.
And then the bridge.
There's a little [C] breakdown before the
bridge, which is just the same thing as the intro.
And then the bridge the first time is just [Am] going
to hang on the one on the G.
[A] So this is what living looks like.
I kind of drone just this top
as the acoustic player kind of adds some percussion and just kind of a cooler tone.
Right?
So that's
whole [B] first bridge.
Second one.
[A] This is what freedom feels.
Then go to the C.
[D] This is what heaven sounds like.
We praise you.
We praise you.
And then the [G] last one, you're gonna do a little bit of like a walk up.
[A] G,
[Bm]
A minor, [E] which I'm kind of playing this [Gm] a little bit more of a fancy [Bm] way.
[G#] And then you're going to go to the E [F#m] minor [D] and then C.
So it'll be like, [A] this is what
looks [Bm] like.
This is what freedom feels like.
[F#m] This is what heaven sounds like.
[A] We praise you.
[Am] You're good.
You're good.
Welcome [N] Betty, everybody.
[Cm] Sorry.
No, you're good.
But this is what living
looks like.
Am I right?
That's right.
Interruptions all the time.
So lesson learned.
This is what
living looks like.
Back to the song.
So the bridge is really, really simple.
So the bridge goes like
this.
Just hangs on the one the first time.
[A] Hold it on the G.
And [Em] then the second time is going to [D] go

And back [G] to the G, C, E minor, C on the
chorus.
[A#] That's basically it.
Then you got a rowdy outro.
And might as well throw in the tag if you
want to do [A] it.
That little bit is really just the one and one sus.
[F#m] This was a little spontaneous
moment.
We just threw on it.
[A] And it just kind of goes like this.
One.
And then I do [D] one sus like this.
[A] Oh, I can't hold back [D] my praise.
I gotta let [A] it out.
I can't hold back [D] my praise.
I gotta let it [G#] out.

I can't hold back [D] my praise.
I [A] gotta let it out.
And then go back into the bridge [D] chorus.
Boom, boom, boom.
That's the song.
[A] Listen.
I hope you do it at
your church.
It's a fun one and it's easy to teach to your team.
Also, there are [F#m] some fire tracks out
there to get into [D] your computer to add along to [A] supplement some instrumentation for your [E] team.
So take advantage of that as well.
Love you [F#m] guys.
Let me know how it goes at your [D] church.
I cannot wait to hear you lead.
We praise you.
[A] Peace out.
