The Night I Saw God by Joshua Path
The Night I Saw God
Capo:no capo
This is a simple bar-chord bluesy song. Playing in the root-A position, you can
capo to any fret to suit your
singing style. Listen to the song (it is on his album "The Sugar Fields") to sort
out the strum pattern. In short, the
root bass note in each chord is hammered on/pull off the third fret. So in the A
position, the pattern would look
something like:
-----------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------|
--3--3-3----3-----3-------3--------------------------|
--3--3-3----3-----3-------3-----repeat as necessary--|
--0--0-0--3-0--3--0--3----0--------------------------|
------------------------3----------------------------|
Both the E formation and D formation chords goes through the same basic bluesy
treatment as above.
The overall chord patter is basic: A-->D-->A-->E-->A There is a lot of palm
muting and
pick strokes that don't
actually ring out the notes. It has a very dusky, hushed sound to it, perfect for
solo performances.

With a bomb in my brain I was dying to explode

Uh, baby, baby, oh baby, baby.

The night I saw God, I had given up hope
A
I was standing on chairs and tying up ropes
D
Had my mouth full of juicy fruit and Listerine
A
But every girl I knew was in a porn magazine
E
till an angel showed up in a stretch limousine
A
And gave me uh, baby, baby, oh baby, baby.
D--->E--->D---->E
A
The night I saw God I was dying in bed
A
There were nurses and curses fighting inside my head
D
There were viruses in me that nobody could pronounce
A
Saw the reaper in the corner; he was waiting to pounce
E
They was gonna pull the plug when an angel announced I needed
A
Uh, baby, baby, oh baby, baby.

The night I saw God, The night I saw God
