The song “What a God” that most people search chords for is the SEU Worship version in the key of A.

Below is a simple, playable layout of the main progressions without including any of the protected lyrics.

Note: I’ll describe where sections go, but not write the full lines.

Key, tempo, basic info

  • Key: A major (often played with no capo, or Capo 2 using G shapes).
  • Time: 4/4, moderate tempo (around 79 BPM).

Common chords in key of A you’ll use a lot:

  • A, D, E, F#m, sometimes Bm and A/C# (A chord with C# in the bass).

Verse progression (key of A)

A simple, widely-used chart in A looks like:

  • Verse idea (example progression) :
    A – E – F#m – E
    D – A/C# – E – E

These match charts where the verse moves I–V–vi–V then IV–I/3–V.

If you prefer G-shape with Capo 2 (still sounding in A), that becomes roughly:

  • G – D – Em – D
  • C – G/B – D – D

Chorus – “What a God” hook

Most chord charts for SEU Worship’s version give the chorus in A like this:

  • Chorus (key of A) :
    D – E – F#m – A/C#
    D – E – F#m – A/C# (or C#m in some arrangements)
    D – E – F#m – A/C# (tag on the last line can sit on D)

In Nashville numbers, that’s IV – V – vi – I/3 repeated. If you’re using Capo 2 with G shapes, the chorus will feel like:

  • C – D – Em – G/B (repeating).

Pre-chorus (where used)

Some arrangements include a short pre-chorus that builds tension before the big “What a God” hook, often something like:

  • Pre-chorus (A) :
    D – A/C# – E – E

This is visible in the official chart PDF where the pre-chorus cycles IV – I/3 – V.

Bridge – “God, You are my everything”

Chord sites and official worship resources agree that the bridge sits on this repeating pattern in A:

  • Bridge 1 (key of A) :
    D – E – F#m – A/C#
    D – E – F#m – A/C#
    D – E – F#m – A/C#

  • Bridge 2 variant (key of A) keeps the same core IV – V – vi – I/3 loop, sometimes changing the lyric emphasis and adding a tag “God, You are my everything.”

In Capo 2 / G shapes, that’s:

  • C – D – Em – G/B repeated.

Very simple “starter” version (guitar-friendly)

If you just want to strum and sing along in a guitar-friendly way (Capo 2, play in G):

  • Verse : G – D – Em – D – C – G/B – D – D
  • Chorus : C – D – Em – G/B (loop)
  • Bridge : C – D – Em – G/B (loop, building dynamically)

Strumming idea:

  • Verses: down–down–up–up–down–up, gently.
  • Chorus/bridge: stronger downstrokes on beats 1 and 3, or full down–up eighth-note pattern.

TL;DR:
Most people play “What a God” in A with verses around A–E–F#m–E and a big chorus looping D–E–F#m–A/C#, with a bridge that keeps that IV–V–vi–I/3 feel and builds dynamically.
