[Bb] Probably one of [Ab] the most powerful songs [Gm]
ever written.
[Cm] Father God help me to [Db] read.
[Bb] [Eb] He was dragged down to a rock pile
[Gm] On the outskirts of town
[Ab] And there nailed to a torturous rack
[Fm] His [Bb] mawkers gathered round
[Eb] The blackened sky spoke like thunder
[Gm] Then he finally [Cm] bowed his head
[C] Then he [Fm] who had given life back
[Eb]
He hung [Bb] there dead But listen
[Eb] Then his mama and some [Bb] friends came
To carry him away
[Ab] They were trying to speak of heartaches
That only [Bb] their tears could save
[Eb] The sun set, cast no shadow
[Bb] On the [Cm] world's darkest day
[Fm] And with one [Ab] last look
They left [Bb] him in his grave
[Eb] But I talked to him today
[Gm] And my cares all fell [Bbm] away
He made me [Eb] feel like life [Ab] had just begun
[F] He said all my trials
[Eb] Can be turned [Cm] into [Fm] triumphs
Through the victory [Ab] that he's [Db] already [Bb] won
[Eb] Yes, I talked to him today
[Gm] And the comfort that he [Bbm] gave
Filled me [Eb] with desire to [Ab] tell the world
That on Calvary [F] he died
[Eb] But right now he [C] lives a lie
[Fm] I know [Bb] because I talked to [Eb] him today
[B] [E]
Mary Magdalene came breathless
[B] To the place where Peter lay
[Gbm] He was [A] searching through a broken heart
He was trying to find [B] some faith to pray
But [E] as he heard her joyful story
[B] His sorrow [Dbm] could not stay
[Gbm] As hope sprang [D] at the words he [B] heard her say
She said, Peter
[E] I talked to him today
[Abm] And my cares all fell [Bm] away
He made me feel like life had [A] just begun
[Gb] He said that all my trials
[E] Can be turned [Dbm] into triumphs
[Gbm] Through the victory that he's [D] already won
Yes, [E] I talked to him today
[Abm] And the comfort that he [Bm] gave
Filled me [E] with desire to [A] tell the world
That on Calvary [Gb] he died
But [E] right now he lives [Db] a lie
[Gbm] I know because [B] I talked to him [E] today
Oh, but listen
You see, [A] on Calvary he [Gb] died
But right [E] now he lives a [Db] lie
[Gbm] I know
Because I talked to [A] him [E] today
