VERSION #1 Key = F
This is a simplified version of this great hymn. Learn your chord symbols, and play single notes or octave
bass is you are a beginner, and just 3 note chords. The melody notes are in ( ). Keep in mind you want to
voice your chords with the melody on the top. This will help you learn the chord symbols and their inversions
by NOT typing out each chord, but giving the symbol and the melody note
