Oh Lord Acoustic chords by NF

Chords with lyrics

This song is basically

DmDm FF C majorC Bb majorBb

Over and over

Here's how I play the intro (sounds 100% accurate)


Intro:

e|-----------------5~----------0~--------6~--------------------------------|
BB|-------6~----------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|----7----------5----------0---------7------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-----------3---------------------5---------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-5---------------------3-------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

I play that through to the end of the 1st hook (just like the recording) then when I hit V2 I start strumming
the chords as I usually play them (open chords), then for the ending go back to the intro,
this has a nice dynamic effect that really adds to the power of this song.

Verse 1:

DmDm
When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag
FF
I don’t care where they go
C majorC
Don’t waste your money on my gravestone
Bb majorBb
I’m more concerned about my soul
DmDm
Everybody’s gon’ die
FF
Don’t everybody live though
C majorC
Sometimes I look up to the sky
Bb majorBb
And wonder do You see us down here?


Verse 2:

DmDm
Listen, yeah everybody wants change
FF
Don’t nobody wanna change though
C majorC
Don’t nobody wanna pray
Bb majorBb
Till they got something to pray for
DmDm
Now everybody’s gon’ die
FF
But don’t everybody live though
C majorC
Sometimes I look up to the sky
Bb majorBb
And wonder do you see us down here?

Hook:

  DmDm    FF
Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here?
  C majorC    Bb majorBb
Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here?
  DmDm    FF
Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here?
  C majorC    Bb majorBb
Oh Lord, oh Lord


Verse 3:

    DmDm
It’s easy to blame God but harder to fix things
        FF
We look in the sky like, “Why ain’t You listening?”
        C majorC
Watching the news in our living rooms on the big screens
            Bb majorBb
And talking ’bout “If God’s really real, then where is He?”

DmDm
You see the same God that you saying might not even exist
     FF
Becomes real to us, but only when we dying in bed
      C majorC
When ya healthy it’s like, we don’t really care for Him then
      Bb majorBb
Leave me alone God, I’ll call you when I need you again

     DmDm
Which is funny, everyone will sleep in the pews
      FF
Then blame God for our problems like He sleeping on you
       C majorC
We turn our backs on Him, what do you expect Him to do?
   Bb majorBb
It’s hard to answer prayers when nobody’s praying to you

DmDm
I look around at this world we walk on
           FF
It’s a smack in the face, don’t ever tell me there’s no God
        C majorC
And if there isn’t then what are we here for?
          Bb majorBb
And what are y’all doing down there? I don’t know Lord


Hook:

  DmDm    FF
Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here?
  C majorC    Bb majorBb
Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here?
  DmDm    FF
Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here?
  C majorC    Bb majorBb
Oh Lord, oh Lord


Ending:

DmDm
Do You see us down here? Oh Lord
FF                   C majorC
Can You see us down here? Oh Lord
       Bb majorBb
Oh Lord, oh Lord

Can You see us? Can’t You see us?
