The Twenty-first Time Chords

(ver. 1)
Monk And Neagle
Monk and Neagle
Twenty First Time
Standard Tuning
You can either strum normal, or play the bass note then strum the rest of the chord. 
Either way it sounds fine. I think Monk and Neagle pick the bass first.

This is how I play it.

I realize that I’ve not been doin’ my part
       Cadd9     G/B      Asus4        Em
when I needed a Savior, I found it in Him
Am         G            D/F#         G

and I’m thankful there’s more than the twenty-first time
