[Verse]
 
G
The greatest day in history
C                                 Em
Death is beaten, you have rescued me
                       C
Sing it out Jesus is alive
 
G
The empty cross, The empty grave
C                             Em
Life eternal You have won the day
                        C
Shout it out Jesus is alive...
     D
He's alive!
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G            C          Em
Oh happy day, happy day 
    D
You washed my sin away...
G            C          Em
Oh happy day, happy day 
     D                G       C        Em
I'll never be the same
   D                  G       C        Em        D
Forever I am changed...
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
When I stand in that place
C                             Em
Free at last, meeting face to face
                            C
I am yours, Jesus, you are mine
 
G
Endless joy, perfect peace
C                         Em
Earthly pain finally will cease
                      C
Celebrate, Jesus is alive
          D
Oh, he's alive!
 
[Chorus]
 
[Bridge]
 
1st time through: Play each chord once, ringing out, except the G
2nd time through: Palm mute the chords except the G chord
 
 
Em                     Bm
Ohh... What a glorious day
                C
What a glorious way
     G
That You have saved me
 
 
Em                     Bm
Ohh... What a glorious day
                C
What a glorious name...
 
G
YEAHHH!
