Christ Be Our Light chords by Songs Of Praise

Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 2nd

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Christ Be Our Light

[Note: I usually play this with capo on 2nd fret covering EBGAD strings leaving low E MajorE open.
This allows for a bass drone similar to a Drop-D effect]
