These fingerings are not chords to be strummed, but rather picked in a two
or three finger style. Note that Noel almost always ignores the first (or high-E) string.
To match the pitch of the recorded version you must tune DOWN 1/2 step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb).
Noel throws in many two-fingered hammer-ons using the first and second fingers, particularly when moving
from the '1' chord to the '2' chord.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want





                        

                    6             7

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures



           

   1                     6 4     6

He leadeth me beside the still waters

He re-stor-eth my soul

He leadeth me in the paths of righteous-ness for His name's sake





                                 

    7                             6             2         6

And yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death



      

          1  2      1             6  4  6

I fear no evil; for Thou art with me

Thy rod and Thy staff they com-fort me
