The Greatest Story chords by
The Caravans
The Caravans

N/A
Verse 1
D
G

Down through the years,
D

I've read from the pages of history,
G
D

and from the writings of great men.
G
D

But in all of this time,
G
D
G

just one thing has stayed with me.
D

A little passage I read
G

from the greatest love story

that's ever been told.

And it says, for God so loved the world,
D
G

that he gave his only begotten son.
D
G

And a few days ago I was thinking
D
G

on this passage of scripture
C

And I was inspired to
G
D
G

write this song
D
G
D
G

The Father gave his Son
D
G

He gave his only begotten Son,

thank God
D

And the Son loved the
G

dying world so much
D
G
C

That the Son gave his only life
G

And left on record the greater love
D
G
D

that this have no man, one day way back,
G
D
G
D
G

back on Calvary, you see
D

I don't have time to tell you the
G

whole story today
D
G

because they told me it wouldn't make this record too long,

but I'd like to let you know

that they lay 39 lashes on his back,
D
G
D

a crown of 72 thorns on his head,
G

they led him from judgment hall
D

to judgment hall but
G
D

But he stood before his counselors
G

and his judges,

and he never said a word.
D
G
D
G

He never said a word.

He loved us just that much.
D
G
D

nev er said a word.
G
D
G

Thank God. He never, never said a word.
D
G

I believe that. He never said a word.

And that's not all,

but they carried him out to Calvary,
D
G

crucified him, laid him in the grave,

But they tell me on the third day
C

morning he rose
D
G

And after far too long days

down here on earth

He summered down from Gloria Cloud
D
G

And went on back to heaven
D
G

But he said just like you see me going
D

I'm coming back again for you one day
G
D

And I ask him when he come back
G
D

to swing His chariot down
G
D

That's what I want him to do
G

See I've never had

a chariot ride before
D
G
D
G
D
G

Swing low, swing low, swing low
D
G
D

I told him in the meantime I'd hold,
G
C
G

I felt like that's the least I
D
G
D
G
D
G
D

could do for him.
G

And sometimes I think about it
D

and I moan like this.
G

See, devil don't know
D
G

what I'm moaning for
D

And then sometimes when I'm alone,
G

and the spirit begins to move,
Em

you might see me do this
G

My love,
D
G

I'd like to do it one more time

Come on Jesus,
D
G
D
G
D
G
D

on Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Whoo! Whoo!

Whoo!

  • 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.
