David Phelps - End Of The Beginning Chords

(Intro Music)

                                        Am
I was takin a trip on a plane the other day
      G
Just wishing that I could get out.
          F
When the man next to me saw the book in my hand
      E
And asked me what it was about.
              Am
So I settled back in my seat-
                             G
"A best seller," I said. "A history, a mystery in one."
            F
And then I opened up the book and began to read
      E
From Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.


Chorus:
        Am
He was born of a virgin one holy night
        F
In the little town of Bethlehem.
 Dm
Angels gathered round him underneath the stars
         E
Singing praises to the great I Am.
    Am                                                F
He walked on the water, healed the lame and made the blind to see again.
             Dm                                       E
And for the first time here on earth we learned that God could be a friend.
               F
And though he never ever did a single thing wrong
     Am
The angry crowd chose him. 
             Dm
And then he walked down the road and died on the cross
     E                       Am
and that was the end of the beginning.

         Am                                                 G
"that's not a new book that's a bible," he said, "and I've heard it all before.
            F                                          E
I've tried religion- it's shame and guilt and I don't need it anymore.
      Am                                      G
It's superstition, made up tales and just to help the weak to survive. "
         F                                            E
"Let me read it again," I said, "listen closely, cuz this is gonna change your life.


[Chorus:]

                 Am
"The end of the beginning," he said with a smile.
       G
"What more could there be? He's dead.
               F
You said they hung him, put nails in His hands
       E
And a crown of thorns on His head. "
               Am
I said, "I'll read it again but this time there's more,
    G
And I believe that this is true.
           F
His death wasn't the end, the beginning of life
        E
That's completed in you. Don't you see he did all this for you! "
[Chorus:]
        Am
He was born of a virgin one holy night
        F
In the little town of Bethlehem
         Dm             E
All the angles singing praises to the great I am
    Am
He walked on the water, healed the lame,
              F
And made the blind to see(eee)
              Dm
(and for the first time here on earth)
                   E
Did you know that God could be a friend.
        F
Tho He never ever did a single thing wrong,
   Am
He was the one the crowd chose.
     Dm
Then he walked and he died but
 E
Three days later (3x) he rose!!!!!!!!
Am
Three days later he rose!
            F        Am        Dm
You see he came, he lived, and he died.
     E                         Am
But that was the end.. of the beginning.
