note : i think it also sounds good , maybe even better , substituting Em7 [ 0 2 2 0 3
3 ] for Em , Cadd9 [ x 3 2 0 3 3 ] for C , and Dsus4 [ x x 0 2 3 3 ] for D .

strum pattern for beginners – first , listen to the song . the fast part ( end of
verse lines , end of chorus ) i play :

G D/F# Em C
D D uuududu D D uuududu

during the verse just play and let ring out the initial single chord until the jam
above .
during the chorus , i play something like this ( hitting just the root note
sometimes on down strums including the initial strum ) :

D D du D D D du D D D du D D D du D D D du
G C D G
praise is waiting for you in this place

i hope that’s helpful . it’s a great song , enjoy!
