What Chords do I play

[Goodcheer68]

I uploaded sheet music of Psalm 1. I love this Psalm and want to know how to play it on guitar. Could someone tell me the guitar chords that work with this song. Thanks!

Patrick,
That piece is in the key of A and I didn't see any accidentals in a brief glance. The difficulty in the music is that it is written for piano, where there is a chord change very frequently. Classical guitarists make these changes easier than we rock folk. There are two options, I think:
1- you can simplify the chords on the attached page, but you will have to alter the melody in areas you simplify to match the chords you are actually playing or
2- see if you can find the song in guitar tab online, where someone has done that for you.

I could go through it, but someone like Tim Foster could do it better and faster. It is very difficult for a guitar to chord change every note, sometimes in complicated ways, and make it sound fluid, then sing along......

Here is a simple set of chords that works for that tune. You can make it more complicated, or even simpler by substituting D major for the f# minor, but you lose the neat bass effect with that.

I've included the chords in this copy. I left out chord inversions and didn't mark some passing tones. Let me know if you want more of the details.

It's basically what Vic did with some extra chords.

Enjoy!
