Piano Chords: On My Knees (Nicole Mullen)

Download this mp3 from Beemp3.com

In 1996, seems ages ago, Word Music produced a special ballad called On My Knees, written by David Mullen, Nicole Mullen and Michael Ochs. The song is written in the Key of A Major and yes, it has been performed by sweet Jaci Velasquez.

Aileen Nicole Coleman-Mullen (born January 3, 1964) is an award-winning singer, songwriter, and choreographer. She was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. She recorded her first solo album, Don’t Let Me Go, in 1991 with the independent label Frontline Records.
Mullen continued her singing-songwriting-choreography career in the 1990s, singing backup for Michael W. Smith and the Newsboys, writing for Jaci Velasquez, and working as a dancer/choreographer with Amy Grant. She also provided backup vocals for the music video at the end of the VeggieTales program, Larry-Boy and the Fib from Outer Space! and the opening of the VeggieTales presentation, Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed. She was signed to Word Records in 1998 by VP of A&R Brent Bourgeois. Her fourth album, Talk About It, was certified gold for sales in excess of 500,000 copies on April 15, 2008.

All Through The Night (Basic Chords)

 So on Friday's I review the week of email that comes
in from my readers and decide on what to share with
you, especially since Friday's post is for the beginner.

Once you've learned a few chords in the Key of C,
it's time to add in some minor chords, especially Am
and Em. For the following easy song, your left hand
chords  will be on the white keys, except for the D chord.

For the bass walk down C, goes to B note and lands 
on  Am. Have fun with the song.

Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine,
