That's the intro and is played until the "Yes Lord" part, then you can
start playing with the same rhythm "A - A - D - - - F#m - F#m - E" over
and over for almost the whole song except the very last part. You can
play the song fine with just strumming A twice then D once etc... but
it's much more fun to jazz it up a little bit. Here are the lyrics and
stuff...
A D F#m E
I'm trading my sorrow
A D F#m E
I'm trading my shame
A D F#m E A D F#m E
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
A D F#m E
I'm trading my sickness
A D F#m E
I'm trading my pain
A D F#m E A D F#m E
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
Chorus:
A D F#m E
And we say yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
A D F#m E
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
A D F#m E A D F#m E
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord Amen
A D F#m E
I'm pressed but not crushed persecuted not abandoned
A D F#m E
Struck down but not destroyed
A D F#m E
I'm blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure
A D F#m E
And his joy's gonna be my strength
E
Though the sorrow may last for the night
G D
His joy comes with the morning...
