Martin Luther - A Mighty Fortress Is Our God chords

Verse 1:

C        G        Am    G     
A mighty fortress is our God, 

Am   Em     C      Dm  C
a  bulwark never failing;

C          G    Am         G      
Our helper He, amid  the flood, 

Am   Em     C      Dm  C
of mortal ills prevailing:

      Am        D7     G    
For still our ancient foe, 

      G        F      Am
doth seek to work us woe;

    Am         D7         G      
His craft and power are great, 

       F         Dm    E
and, armed with cruel hate,

Am   Em      C      Dm  C
On earth is not his equal. 


Verse 2:

C          G        Am       G     
Did we in our own strength confide, 

Am   Em        C       Dm  C 
our striving would be losing;

C             G        Am       G     
Were not the right Man on our side, 

Am   Em     C         Dm  C
the Man of God's own choosing:

      Am      D7      G    
Dost ask who that may be? 

         G    F     Am
Christ Jesus, it is He;

     Am    D7         G      
Lord Sab-a-oth, His Name, 

      F     Dm       E
from age to age the same,

Am   Em      C      Dm  C
And He must win the bat-tle. 


Chorus:

G
A Mighty fortress, 
                                      C
A mighty Fortress is our God

Verse 3:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/martin-luther/350365.html ]
C                   G        Am       G     
And though this world, with devils filled, 

Am       Em     C     Dm     C
should threaten to un do    us,

C             G        Am       G
We will not fear, for God hath willed, 

Am   Em       C         Dm   C
His truth to triumph through us:

     Am        D7       G    
The prince of darkness grim, 


     G     F       Am
we tremble not for him

     Am      D7   G
His rage we can endure, 

     F       Dm      E
for lo, his doom is sure,

Am   Em      C       Dm     C
One little word will fell  him. 


Verse 4:

C            G        Am    G     
That word above all earthly powers, 

Am   Em       C     Dm   C
no thanks to them, abid-eth;

C           G       Am         G      
The Spirit and the gifts are ours, 
 
Am      Em       C       Dm   C
through Him Who with us side-eth:

     Am        D7     G    
Let goods and kindred go, 

       G     F      Am
this mortal life al-so;

     Am   D        G
The body they may kill: 

        F      Dm    E
God's truth abideth still,

Am   Em      C     Dm   C
His kingdom is for ev - er.

Chorus:

G
A Mighty fortress, 
                                          C
A mighty Fortress is our God
