WHY WE SING by Kirk Franklin

[nyceboy]

Can anyboby help me with this song. i need the chords .

[4hisglory]

Here is part one....  I'll fix and correct when I get home to my board.

Db / Db F Ab....Someone
F/ F Ab Db.....asked a
Gb / Db Gb Bb....question
G / Eb G Bb....why
Eb / G Bb Eb...do we
Ab / Eb Ab C........sing
/Eb, F....when we
C / Bb Eb G.......lift our
F Eb / ????.........hands to
Bb / Ab Bb Db.......Jesus
Eb / Gb Bb Db..........what do we
Ab / Gb Bb Db.........really
Db / F Ab Db..........mean

[ddw4e]

the ???? could be AM7b5  :lol:  :lol:

[4hisglory]

Actually, I was thinking that it could be AM7#5 or AM7b5...I couldn't see it without the keyboard in front of me.  

[4hisglory]

I just really took a look at this song..... it is made up of familiar progressions:

I I7 IV
Db / Db F Ab....Someone
F/ F Ab Db.....asked a
Gb / Db Gb Bb....question

Same progressions as the beginning to
I Surrendar All and
Near the Cross

The ending to the verse is the familiar 7 3 6 2 5 1
C / Bb Eb G.......lift our
F Eb / ????.........hands to
Bb / Ab Bb Db.......Jesus
Eb / Gb Bb Db..........what do we
Ab / Gb Bb Db.........really
Db / F Ab Db..........mean


Its all about the progression.

Okay, how about the rest of the song? It seems to modulate when it gets to that second part . . . "We sing because we're happy, we sing because we're free"

I don't want to sound greedy or nufin' but . . . can we post the rest? I would appreciate it, my brothers . . .                

Be Blessed . . .

I'm learning this song for my choir.  Here's what I got. This song is pretty easy, it evolves around the circle of fifths. Here we go.

Key Db then modulates to Eb

Db/ F-Ab-Db  
F/ F-Ab-Db    
Gb/Gb-Bb-Db
G/G-Bb-Eb
Ab/Eb-Ab-C  
C/Bb-Db-Gb
F/F-Ab-Eb
Bb/Ab-Bb-Db

(Eb-C)
(C-Ab)
EB/Gb-Bb-Db
Ab/Gb-Bb-Db
