My God Has Come To Save Me
Waterdeep
(C) 2001 by Hey Ruth Music (ASCAP) and Squint Songs (ASCAP)

This is my personal interpretation of what I hear on the album.
It is not copied from any songbook.

This is in the key of E major.  The posting that I worked from 
argued this uses the root 5 chords B(14), G#m(11), A(12), and E(7).
The author was probably correct, but I can't play that far up the 
neck on my acoustic guitar.  Therefore I recommend playing 
the root 6 chords E, G#m, A, and B.

E         Gm         A         B

B              A  E                     
 On the day God saved us
              A  B

 He is my strength and my song.


VERSE 2
-------

 We will drink from the fountain

 where salvation springs.

 All the people will shout

 "Praise to our King."

 Tell the nations about it,

 and help them to see

 He's the maker of heaven.

 He's over everything.

 He's over everything.

 My God loves everything.

I still need to figure out the solo.
Until then, use the chords.
