He's Alive - Don Francisco *Here are a couple of intros that work. The first is more advanced while the second is novice. The ending to most verses have an Am(add9). In the novice version, they can all be replaced with a standard Am. Advanced Intro: (this Am in the intro should be played as instructed. All other Am’s should be standard.)

The g^Amates and doors were barred and all the wi^Gndows fastened d^Amown I s^Ampent the night in sleeplessness and r^Gose at every s^Amound H^Dmalf in hopeless sorrow and h^Galf in fear the ^Amday Am G Am(add9) G Would find the soldiers breaking through to drag us all away

Verse 2:

And j^Amust before the sunrise I heard so^Gmething at the w^Amall The g^Amate began to rattle and a v^Goice began to c^Amall I h^Dmurried to the window and looked d^Gown into the s^Amtreet Am G Am(add9) G Expecting swords and torches and the sound of soldiers feet

Verse 3:

There was ^Amno one there but Mary so I w^Gent down to let her ^Amin J^Amohn stood there beside me as she t^Gold us where she'd ^Ambeen She s^Dmaid They’ve moved Him in the night and none of us knows^Am where The st^Amone's been rolled away and now His b^Gody isn't ^Amthere

Verse 4:

We b^Amoth ran toward the garden, then J^Gohn ran on a^Amhead We fo^Amund the stone and the empty tomb just the w^Gay that Mary s^Amaid But the wi^Dmnding sheet they wrapped Him in was just an empty s^Amhell Am G Am(add9) G And how or where they'd taken Him was more than I could tell

Verse 5:

Well so^Ammething strange had happened there, but, just w^Ghat I did not k^Amnow J^Amohn believed a miracle but ^GI just turned to ^Amgo Circums^Dmtance and speculation couldn't l^Gift me very h^Amigh Cause I'd s^Ameen them crucify Him^G, then I saw Him ^Amdie ^G

Verse 6:

B^Amack inside the house again, the g^Guilt and anguish c^Amame E^Amverything I'd promised Him just a^Gdded to my s^Amhame When, at l^Dmast, it came to choices, I denied I knew His n^Amame Am G Am(add9) G And even if he was alive, it wouldn't be the same

Verse 7: Am Am-G But suddenly the air was filled with strange and sweet perfume

^AmLight that came from everywhere drove shadows from the r^Amoom And J^Dmesus stood before me with His a^Grms held open w^Amide Am G Am(add9) G And I fell down on my knees and just clung to Him and cried

Verse 8:

He r^Amaised me to my feet and, as I l^Gooked into His ^Ameyes L^Amove was shining out from Him, like s^Gun light from the s^Ckies G^Fuilt and my confusion disap^Gpeared in sweet re^Amlease And e^Amvery fear I'd ever had just m^Gelted into p^Aeace

Interlude: A C G D Chorus:

He's a^Alive, He's a^Clive He's a^Glive and I'm forgiven, heaven's g^Dates are open wide He's a^Alive, He's a^Clive He's a^Glive and I'm forgiven, heaven's g^Dates are open wide He's a^Alive, He's a^Clive He's a^Glive and I'm forgiven, heaven's g^Dates are open wide He's a^Alive, He's a^Clive He's a^Gli ^D- ^Ave
