Standing On The Promises Chords
by Hymn
Standing On The Promises by Hymn is a more advanced guitar song played in the key of Bb with a capo on the 3st fret. It uses the chords Bb, G, Eb, F, F7 and Eb7. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
I play guitar for my local church and wanted to share the chords I use for the hymns we sing.
The chords I use are based off of our hymn book and therefore, you could find some weird chords
that would be hard to play with no capo.
I will try to suggest what to transpose the song to using the transpose tool and then where to
place the capo to remain on key. EX: Bb is G with
Capo on 3
Suggestion: Transpose down 3 and place
Capo on 3
