2nd Verse Lyrics (same as the 1st Verse)
I almost let go. I felt like I just couldn't take life anymore. My problems
had me bound, depression weighed me down, but God held me close so I wouldn't
let go. God's mercy kept me, so I wouldn't let go.

[ F / / Bb\F ] [ Bb\F / / / ] [F / / Bb\F]
3rd Verse Lyrics (same chords as the 1st Verse)
I almost gave up. I was right at the edge of a break through but couldn't see
it.
The devil really had me, but Jesus came and grabbed me, and He held me close, so
I wouldn't let go. God's mercy kept me, so I wouldn't let go. (To the BRIDGE)
After the BRIDGE, the VAMP is:
Bb\C God (C-Bb)
Gm\F kept (Bb)
F me (A)
Fadd9\A He
Eb\A - ..ee(Bb)
Eb\Bb kept (Bb)
Bb me (Bb)
F\Bb
Bb\C God (C-Bb)
Gm\F kept (Bb)
F me (A)
Quick passing chords:
Dm\F,
Dbm\G,
Cm\A
F\A He (C-Bb)
Repeat the vamp while soloist improvises over the choir. The CD "fades" outI
guess that can happen live at church, or make up the ending to resolve on the "F
chord".
Many Blessings,
Lisa
CHOIR PARTS
I Almost Let Go (Kurt Carr)fficeffice" />
Choir Parts
Key = F
Much of the first portion of the song goes in and out of being unison and 2-part
harmony. You can learn the melody note, and add a 5th below it for 2-part
harmony from the chord post of this song where I will provide the melody notes.
A "5th" below means for example the melody note is "F" a 5th below that is "C".
Here are the choir parts for the bridge of the song"
