I still remember when I heard You call me by name

How to play In The Hands Of The Potter: key, chords and progression

In The Hands Of The Potter by Casting Crowns sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: C, Em, D and G.

Listen for G – D – C – G (I – V – IV – I in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
