“King of Kings” by Hillsong Worship is a poetic, gospel-centered worship song with a powerful anthem-like chorus, and this King of Kings chord chart gives guitar players a clear way to lead it in a modern worship setting. The song has a slower, reflective feel that builds steadily, making it especially effective during response moments, communion, or Easter services.
While the chord progression is approachable overall, there are several musical details that make the arrangement interesting. Some measures contain multiple chord changes, and there are a few brief 2/4 measures mixed into the primarily 4/4 structure. One especially unique element is the substitution of the typical 1/3 chord with a 6 minor chord during the third verse, which helps keep the repeated progression from feeling too repetitive. Because of the slower tempo, the transitions are still manageable for intermediate guitar players. This chart is available in the key of D, along with a Nashville Numbers version for easy transposing.
