IT IS GOOD

(in verse 1, only strum each chord down until you get to "all the day and through the night..")
(also, the chords in parentheses are in a different key that's easier to play and to sing!!)


***Verse 1***
      Dm      Gm
     (Am)    (Dm)
It Is Good to praise the Lord
         A             Dm                D7
        (E)           (Am)              (A7)
And make music to Your Name, O God, Most High
 Gm                   Dm
(Dm)                 (Am)
     To proclaim Your Faithfulness
        A                   Dm
       (E)                 (Am)
All the day and through the night



***Chorus***
       Dm          Gm
      (Am)        (Dm)
Lai-la-lai, lai-la-lai-la-lai,
      A               Dm                  Gm
     (E)             (Am)                (Dm)
La-la-lai-lai, lai-la-lai-la-lai-la-lai, (Hey!)
                  Dm
                 (Am)
La-la-la-la-la-la-lai-la-lai,
      A               Dm
     (E)             (Am)
La-la-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai!


***Verse 2***
You make me glad by Your Deeds, O Lord
So I sing for joy at all Your Hands have made
How great are Your Works, O Lord,
Elohim Baruch Hashem!

(chorus)


***Verse 3***
May I dwell in Your courts, O Lord
There to flourish like the trees of Lebanon
Planted in the house of Adonai
There to live forevermore

(chorus)

(Note:  I usually play the first verse again at the end, playing it fast)
