I Was There When It Happened Chords by Johnny Cash

[Start]

[Verse]
Db Gb Db Gb B Gb
■  ■  ■  ■  ■ ■ 
                      B                 Gb  
There are some people who say we cannot tell
               Db       Db7            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  
Well I was there when it happened and so I guess I ought to know


[Chorus]
                Gb          Db7 Gb
Yes I know when Jesus saved me  ■ 
Db7                Gb        
The very moment He forgave me
                Ab7          
He took away my heavy burdens
        Ab      Ab7   Gb     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


[Bridge]
Db Gb B Gb                        B                  Gb  
■  ■  ■ I don't care who tells me ■ salvation is not real
                     Db                   Gb  
Though the world may argue that we cannot feel


[Verse]
          Gb                           B      
The heavy burden's lifted and the vile sins go
                    Gb                Db               Gb  
I was there when it happened and so I guess I ought to know
                Db            
Yes I know when Jesus saved me


[Chorus]
Db7                    Gb        
■   The very moment He forgave me
                Ab7           Ab
He took away my heavy burdens ■ 
                      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 ■
