[Intro]
C G D Em C G D Em

[Verse 1]
Em         C
I heard an old song
G        D            Em
What can wash away my sin?
            C
Went to the water
G       D             Em
Found a way to start again
              C
Filled with a fire
G           D                Em
And now His spirit lives within
           C
I heard an old song
G        D            G
What can wash away my sin?

[Chorus]
C            G
Tell me, how deep and wide
D      Em7
Is the love of Jesus?
C            G
My soul will testify
D      Em7
To the One who saves us
C             G     D
And I've been born again
       Em7             C
Had to die to find new life
       Em            D
In the water, in the fire
            C    G D Em C G D
I've been baptized

[Verse 2]
Em          C
Come sing a new song
G      D
At the well that won't run dry
Em7    C
Living waters
G              D        Em
All who thirst are satisfied
     C
Hallelujah
G              D         Em7
Let your heart be set on fire
            C
Come sing a new song
Em      D               G
All who thirst are satisfied

How to play Baptized: key, chords and progression

These are Baptized chords by Mac Powell & Matt Maher on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Baptized by Mac Powell & Matt Maher keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 7 chords: C, G, D, Em, Em7, F and Am.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – G – D – Em7 (IV – I – V – vi7 in G major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
