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.

We will drink from the fountain

He's over everything.
My God loves everything.

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