I Bless Your Name

I Bless Your Name  (Selah)

[Intro]
C C F G C

C             C       F             C       F C
In prisoners' chains with bleeding stripes
C        Am    F           G
Paul and Silas prayed that night
              C     F       C  *  Am   *(traditional walk down C to Am)
And in their pain began to sing
Am                  C         F        C     F C
Their chains were loosed and they were free

C                  F            C
I bless Your name, I bless Your name
C     *    Am     F        G             *(walk up C to Am)
I give You honor, give You praise
            C      F             C
You are the Life, the Truth, the Way
Am           C       F          C
I bless Your name, I bless Your name

C             C     F             C       F C
Some midnight hour if you should find
C           Am      F       G
You're in a prison in your mind
              C     F       C  *  Am
Reach out and praise, defy those chains
Am            C         F        C     F C
And they will fall in Jesus' name

C                  F              C
We bless Your name, we bless Your name
C     *     Am     F        G
We give You honor, give You praise
            C      F             C
You are the Life, the Truth, the Way
Am            C       F           C
We bless Your name, we bless Your name

            C      F             C
You are the Life, the Truth, the Way
Am           C       F           C
We bless Your name, we bless Your name

*C  walk down  Am                       C   walk up    Am

(Note: The progression in the second line of both the verse and chorus goes:)  
[Am  F  G]

If you are strumming this works OK.
But you can substitute a  Bbmaj7  for the  F
if you are finger picking or just to add a little flavor to the transition to the G.
