Were You There?

[Mike Brinkmeyer]

Does anyone have the correct chord progressions to this old spiritual? The tab I've seen doesn't have nearly the minor chords I think this song has. Seems like Jeff Newman had this on one of his gospel courses years back. Thanks for the help.

Mike:

Here's what's in Jeff's book:

[3 Pickup notes in C] C(dim) Dm G7 C F C C(dim) C G F C C(dim)
C F F#(dim) C C(dim) Dm G7 C F C

There's only 2 minor chords and they're both Dm. There's several Diminished chords, too.

Hope this helps.
