[Verse]
Db Ebm Gb Db Gb B Gb
■  ■   ■  ■  ■  ■ ■ 
                      B                 Gb  
There are some people who say we cannot tell
               Db                      Gb  
Whether we are saved or whether all is well
                 Gb                            B 
They say we only can hope and trust that it is so
                        Gb             Db    Db7        Gb  
But I was there when it happened and I guess I ought to know


[Chorus]
                Gb          Db7 Gb
Yes I know when Jesus saved me  ■ 
         Db        Gb        
The very moment He forgave me
                      Ab7   
He took away my heavy burden
                      Db7   
Lord He gave me peace within
            Db7     Gb      
Satan can't make me doubt it
                        B       
It's real and I'm gonna shout it
                    Gb      
I was there when it happened
         Db      Db7          Gb  
And so I guess I ■   ought to know


[Verse]
Db Gb B Gb                        B                Gb  
■  ■  ■ I don't care who tells me salvation is not real
                     Db            Db7    Gb  
Though the world may argue that we cannot feel
          Gb            
The heavy burdens lifted
             B      
And the vile sins go
                    Gb                Db               Gb  
I was there when it happened and so I guess I ought to know


[Chorus]
                Gb    Db7     
Yes I know when Jesus saved me
                   Gb        
The very moment He forgave me
                      Ab    
He took away my heavy burden
                      Db7   
Lord He gave me peace within
            Db7     Gb      
Satan can't make me doubt it
                  B             
It's real and I'm gonna shout it
                    Gb      
I was there when it happened
       Db      Db7             Gb
And so I guess I ought to know ■
