Tom: Am
F G C Em
In these days of confused situations
F G E/G# Am
In these nights of a restless remorse
F C/E Dm C
When the heart and the soul of the nation
F C/E Dm G
Lay wounded and cold as a corpse
F G C Em
From the grave of the innocent Adam
F G E/G# Am
Comes a song bringing joy to the sad
F C/E Dm C
Oh, your cry has been heard and the ransom
F G F/C C
Has been paid up in full, be ye glad
[Chorus]
F
Oh, be ye glad
G F C
Oh-ohh, be ye glad
Am D Dm7 G
Every debt that you ever had
C F G Am D
Has been paid up in full by the grace of the Lord
Dm Gsus Csus C
Be ye glad, be ye glad, be ye glad
[Verse 2]
F G Cm Em
Now from the dungeon a rumor is stirring
F G E/G# Am
You have heard it again and again
F C/E Dm C
Aah, but this time the cell keys are turning
F C/E Dm7 G
And outside there are faces of friends
F G C Em
And though your body lay weary from wasting
F G E/G# Am
And your eyes show the sorrow they've had
F C/E Dm C
Oh the love that your heart is now tasting
F G F/C C
Has opened the gates, be ye glad
[Chorus]
F
Oh, be ye glad
G F C
Oh-ohh, be ye glad
Am D Dm7 G
Every debt that you ever had
C F G Am D
Has been paid up in full by the grace of the Lord
Dm Gsus Csus C
Be ye glad, be ye glad, be ye glad
[Verse 3]
F G C Em
So be like lights on the rim of the water
F G E/G# Am
Giving hope in a storm sea of night
F C/E Dm C
Be a refuge amidst the slaughter
F C/E Dm7 G7
Of these fugitives in their flight
F G C Em
For you are timeless and part of a puzzle
F G E/G# Am
You are winsome and young as a lad
F C/E Dm C
And there is no disease or no struggle
F G F/C C
That can pull you from God, be ye glad
[Chorus]
F
Oh, be ye glad
G F C
Oh-ohh, be ye glad
Am D Dm7 G
Every debt that you ever had
C F G Am D
Has been paid up in full by the grace of the Lord
Dm Gsus Csus C
Be ye glad, be ye glad, be ye glad
F C
[then repeat chorus acapella]
