I Was There When It Happened Chords

(ver. 2)
Johnny Cash
Intro:
F / C7 / F

Verse I:
               F     Bb                 F 
There are some people who say we cannot tell 
               C7                      F
Whether we are saved or whether all is well 
                     F                         Bb
They say we only can hope and trust that it is so 
                        F                 C7             F   Bb F
But I was there when it happened and so I guess I oughta know 
 

Chorus:
                      C7
Yes I know when Jesus saved me (saved my soul)
                   F 
The very moment He forgave me (made me whole)
                      G7
He took away my heavy burdens
                      C7 
Lord He gave me peace within (peace within)
                    F 
Satan can't make me doubt it (I won't doubt it)
                        Bb 
It's real and I'm gonna shout it (I'm gonna shout it)
                    F                 C7             F    Bb F 
I was there when it happened and so I guess I oughta know 


(Instrumental Break same as Intro)


Verse II: (same as Verse I)
                 F     Bb                 F 
I don't care who tells me salvation is not real
                  C7                      F
Though the world may argue that we cannot feel
                     F                     Bb
The heavy burdens lifted and the wild sins go 
                    F                 C7             F   Bb F
I was there when it happened and so I guess I oughta know


(Repeat Chorus to End)
