My God Has Come to Save Me Waterdeep
(C) 2001 by Hey Ruth Music (ASCAP) and Squint Songs (ASCAP)
This is my personal interpretation of what I hear on the album.
It is not copied from any songbook.
This is in the key of E major. The posting that I worked from
argued this uses the root 5 chords B(14), G#m(11), A(12), and E(7).
The author was probably correct, but I can't play that far up the
neck on my acoustic guitar. Therefore I recommend playing
the root 6 chords E, G#m, A, and B.

[B] On the day God[A] sa[E]ved us

"Praise the Father [A]in he[E]aven."
He was angry wit[A]h m[G#M]e
but now he comforts me
oh how he comforts me.

VERSE 2
-------
We will drink from the fountain
where salvation springs.
All the people will shout
"Praise to our King."
Tell the nations about it,
and help them to see
He's the maker of heaven.
He's over everything.
He's over everything.
My God loves everything.

Until then, use the chords.
