[Intro]
G   Gsus
 
[Verse 1]
          G              C
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
         G       D                   G
consider all the Worlds Thy hand hath made.
                            C
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
               G         D           G
Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed
 
[Chorus]
              G        C              G
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
               Am7                 G
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
                       C              G
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
               Am7      C          G
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
 
[Verse 2]
           G                   C
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
            G      D                  G
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
            G                C
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
            G       D            G
He bled and died to take away my sin
 
[Chorus]
              G        C              G
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
               Am7                 G
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
                       C              G
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
               Am7      C          G
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
 
[Verse 3]
                  G                    C
When Christ shall come, with shouts of acclamation
            G          D                 G
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
             G             C
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
             G         D                  G
And there proclaim, My God, how great You are!
 
[Chorus]
              G        C              G
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
               Am7                 G
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
                       C              G
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
               Am7      C          G
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
              G        C              G
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
               Am7                 G
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
                       C              G
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
               Am7      C          G
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

Okay, so I think this would be good if your between chords and gently banging you fists onto a wall or guitar.
