CUT CAPO BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT | Mitch Bohannon Bigger Than I Thought In a lead-up to Easter Sunday, my pastor planned a special prayer time during service Intro: ||: A/C# and asked me to find a song for it. Our focus for a special Easter offering…for both, we were anticipating big things from God. The prayer time went really well in case you’re wondering, I scheduled three people to pray…one opened with prayer over the intro, one prayed after we sang verse 1 / chorus over the interlude (same as intro), and one prayed after we sang verse 2 / chorus over the same interlude. D2 A So I throw all my cares before You Esus E F#m7 My doubts and fears don't scare You D2 A You're bigger than I thought You were Esus E You're bigger than I thought D2 A Esus E F#m7 So I stop all negotiations With the God of all creation D2 A You're bigger than I thought You were Esus E You're bigger than I thought You were record, but it really didn’t catch my attention until I heard our son, Sam, lead this song at the McNeese BCM. My wife suggested it to me and it was the perfect song for this prayer time… and it is super easy to play with the cut capo! Listening back to the recording, the rhythm is pretty straightforward…however, when Sam lead it, he syncopated the first chord change going from the A/C# to the D, playing the D on Verse 2 I believe But help my unbelief You understand me You understand me Help me reach The faith that's underneath You understand me You understand me You understand me God You understand me the and-of-two, and I really dug how that felt. It really gave the song a little push or swing which can be helpful at a tempo of 63. Also, the song is recorded in the key of C. Sam and I both lead it in the key of A. If you want to play with the recording, place a full capo on fret 3 and the Bridge A/C# D Esus E I will rest In the Father's hands A/C# D Esus E Leave the rest In the Father's hands cut capo on fret 5 and play with the same chart. movement really makes this progression work, especially if you want to CCLI Song # 7123203 Allen Swoope | Natalie Sims | Sean Curran © 2019 sixsteps Songs (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing) Sounds Of Jericho (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing) Worship Together Music (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing) syncopate the second chord.
