Johnny Cash – I Was There When It Happened (Guitar)

N.C.           E      A                   E
There are some people   who say we cannot tell

               B7                      E
Whether we are saved or whether all is well

N.C.                 E                         A
They say we only can hope and trust that it is so

                         E                 B7             E    A E
Well I was there when it happened and so I guess I oughta know

N.C.                  B7
Yes I know when Jesus saved me (saved my soul)

                      E
The very moment He forgave me (made me whole)

                      F#7
He took away my heavy burdens

                      B7
Lord He gave me peace within (peace within)

N.C.                E
Satan can't make me doubt it (I won't doubt it)

                        A
It's real and I'm gonna shout it (I'm gonna shout it)

                    E                 B7             E    A E
I was there when it happened and so I guess I oughta know

N.C.             E        A                  E
I don't care who tells me   salvation is not real

                     B7                   E
Though the world may argue that we cannot feel

N.C.               E                        A
The heavy burden's lifted and the vile sins go

                    E                 B7             E    A E
I was there when it happened and so I guess I oughta know
