He's Alive easy guitar chords by
Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash

N/A
Verse 1
Am

The gates and doors were barred
G
Am

And all the windows fastened down

I spent the night in sleeplessness
G
Am

And jumped at every sound
Dm

Half in hopeless sorrow
G
Am

And half in fear that day

Would find the soldiers breaking through
G
Am

And drag us all away
Verse 2
Am

Just before the sunrise
G
Am

I heard something at the wall

The gate began to rattle
G
Am

And a voice began to call
Dm

I hurried to the window
G

Looked down into the street
Am

Expecting swords and torches
G
Am

And the sound of soldiers feet

But there was no one there but Mary
G
Am

So I went down to let her in

And John stood there beside me
G
Am

As she told us where she'd been
D
Dm

"They've moved Him in the night
G
Am

And none of us knows where

The stone's been rolled away
G

And now His body isn't
Am

there"

(stone's been rolled away and now
G
Am

His body is n't there)
Verse 3

We both ran toward the garden
G

Then John ran on ahead
Am

We found the stone and empty tomb
G

Just the way that Mary said
Am
D
Dm

But the winding sheet they

wrapped Him in
G
Am

Was just an empty shell

And how or where they'd taken Him
G
Am

Was more than I could tell
Verse 4
Am

Something strange had happened there
G
Am

Just what I did not know

John believed a miracle
G
Am

But I just turned to go
Dm

Circumstance and speculation
G
Am

Couldn't lift me very high
G

I had seen them crucify Him
Am

And I saw Him die
Verse 5
Am

Back inside the house again
G
Am

The guilt and anguish came

Everything I had promised Him
G

Just added to my shame
Am
Dm

When at last it came to choice
G
Am

I had denied I knew His name

And even if He were alive
G
Am

I know it wouldn't be the same
Verse 6
G

Suddenly the air was filled With a

strange and sweet perfume
Am

Light that came from everywhere
G
Am

Drove shadows from the room
Dm

And Je sus stood before me
G
Am

With His arms held open wide

I fell down on my knees
G
Am

And I clung to Him and cried
Verse 7

(Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
Am


He raised me to my feet
G
Am

And as I looked into His eye s

The love was shining out from Him
G
Am

Like sunlight from the skies
Dm

Guilt and my confusion
G
Am

Disappeared in sweet release

And every fear I ever had
G
Am

Just melted into peace
A
C
G

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
