The first initial guitar riff is a quick-like walk down from Bm, A, to G, and back to A.

You’ll have to listen to the actual song to hear how the chords change…but it’s obvious.

VERSE 1

Bm A G A (repeat riff)

Baby I'll be your soldier

Bm A G A (repeat riff)

Gladly I'll do your bidding

Bm A G A (repeat riff)

For just a taste of what you're holding

Bm A G A (repeat riff)

For just a taste you could own me

CHORUS 1

Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love

Em G D F#7 (or just F#)

I'll be right here lying in the hands of God

VERSE 2

(same chords as first verse)

Here it comes dive right into me

Now the floor is the ceiling

If you never flew why would you?

Cut the wings off a butterfly

CHORUS 2

Save your sermons, for someone who's afraid to love

If you knew what I feel, than you couldn't be so sure

Em9 G D F#7 (or just F#)

But I'll be right here, lying in the hands of God.

I'll be right here lying in the hands of God
