| C | Fmaj7 | 2x
[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7
He's got the whole world in His hands, that much I understand
Am G/B F/C
Thanks to a Sunday morning, white church, front-row seat
C Fmaj7
I try not to complicate Him, keep it simple when I’m prayin'
Am G/B F/C
And trust He's got some kind of plan for me
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G/B F/C
Every night I bow my head, amen
Am G/B F/C
Just like I’m talking to a friend, and I can picture Him
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7
I bet God drives a Silverado, I could see His house sitting on some land
Am G/B F/C
And this year it's pretty clear He's a Georgia Bulldog fan
C Fmaj7
I spend so much of my time wonderin' what He's really like
Am G/B F/C
I like to think He spends His off days up there fishin'
G C Fmaj7
And I bet God plays a Gibson
[Verse 2]
C Fmaj7
He turned watеr into wine seems like my kind of guy
Am G/B F/C
I bet Hе's up there six-string strummin' with Loretta Lynn tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G/B F/C
Every night I bow my head, amen
Am G/B F/C G/D F/C
Like I’m catching up with one of my old friends and I picture Him
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7
I bet God drives a Silverado, I could see His house sitting on some land
Am G/B F/C
And this year it's pretty clear He's a Georgia Bulldog fan
C Fmaj7
I spend so much of my time wonderin' what He's really like
Am G/B F/C
I like to think He spends His off days up there fishin'
G C Fmaj7 Am G/B F/C
And I bet God plays a Gibson
[Bridge]
Dm F
How cool would it be, if this guitar that's savin’ me
C G
Is the same one that He's playin', I might be wrong, all I'm saying
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7
Is I bet God drives a Silverado, I could see His house sitting on some land
Am G/B F/C
And this year it's pretty clear He's a Georgia Bulldog fan
C Fmaj7
I spend so much of my time wonderin' what He's really like
Am G/B F/C
I like to think He spends His off days up there fishin'
G C Fmaj7
And I bet God plays a Gibson
C Fmaj7
I bet God plays a Gibson

How to play "God Plays A Gibson" on guitar by Megan Moroney
[General Tips:]
Tuning: Standard tuning (E A D G B e).
Tone: Set your guitar for a warm, full-bodied acoustic sound. If you're using
an electric guitar, adjust for a clean tone with mild bass and mid enhancements.
[Intro & Verse Chords:]
- The song begins with a sequence of C and Fmaj7, repeated twice. This
chord progression sets a contemplative mood.
- Strum gently with a focus on clarity, particularly accentuating the
bass notes on the first beat of each measure.
Chord Transition Tips:
- Transitioning between C and Fmaj7: Maintain your ring finger on the
third fret of the fifth string (C) as a pivot to ease the switch to Fmaj7.
- For moving from Am to G/B to F/C, use smooth and efficient finger
movements to maintain the song's flowing rhythm.
[Chorus Dynamics:]
- The chorus lifts the song's energy. Increase your strumming intensity slightly,
adding both down and upstrokes to enhance the dynamic contrast.
- Emphasize key words like "Silverado," "Georgia Bulldog fan," and "Gibson"
with stronger strumming or slight pauses for dramatic effect.
[Bridge Technique:]
- In the bridge, transition to Dm and F for a reflective musical moment.
Strum these chords with a softer touch to highlight the introspective lyrics.
- Pay special attention to the lyric "this guitar that's savin’ me" by slowing
down the tempo slightly, creating a moment of emotional impact.
[Common Mistakes:]
- Avoid rushing through the chord transitions, especially in the chorus where
the tempo can naturally increase. Keep the rhythm steady and measured.
- Be cautious not to overpower the melody with too aggressive strumming; the
lyrics are central to the song's message.
