Chords-"Harbour of Love"

[Dando]

can anyone post the chord progression for "harbour of love" ???

thanks in advance

[swampstomper]

Here's my transcription. The (A) in the D(A)D is optional. The key to the song is the vi chord, with the bass lead singer. Have fun. This is to my my one of *the* Stanley gospel songs. Right up there with Cry from the Cross (which was not written by the Stanleys).

(Sorry about the ------- but the spaces in my post are eliminated once I post it, although they are there when I re-edit!)

* Harbour of Love (C Stanley)

There's coming a time, on the great judgement morning

On the great ship that carries God's chosen ones home?

If you're wandering in sin, away from God's teaching

And meet all your friends, up in heaven some day

Thanks for the tip! I grew up with typewriters when all we had was monospaced fonts....

BTW the bass part I mentioned is a real test of a bluegrass gospel bass singer. I love Eddie Stubbs' sound on the JMB version -- down in F he really goes "way down deep" to get that vi chord. The original had George Shuffler, I am fairly sure.
