  • Oh, when I was out in the world of sin
    I had no one to call my friend
    Jesus came and he took me in
  • Glory, hallelu
    And he took my feet out of the miry clay
    He placed them up on the rock to stay
  • Now I thank Jesus that I can say
    Glory, hallelu
    O, Glory how happy I am
  • O, Glory how happy I am
    My soul is washed in the Blood of the Lamb
    Glory, hallelu
  •  
    Well one day Jesus was passing by
    He set my sinful soul on fire
  • He made me laugh and he made me cry
    Glory, hallelu
    And when I could not understand
  • Jesus gave me a helping hand
    And showed me the way to the Promised Land
    Glory, hallelu
  • O, Glory how happy I am
    O, Glory how happy I am
    My soul is washed in the blood of the Lamb
  • Glory, hallelu
     
    (Instrumental)
  •  
    Now I know something that's mighty swell
    A sweet little story I love to tell
  • How Jesus saved my soul from Hell
    Glory, hallelu
    Oh, stand back Satan, get out of my way
  • I don't want to hear a word you say
    I'm on my path down the King's highway
    Glory, hallelu
  • O, Glory how happy I am
    O, Glory how happy I am
    My soul is washed in the blood of the Lamb
  • Glory, hallelu
     
    Once I had no home to claim
  • I began to call on Jesus' name
    He saved me from old Satan's chains
    Glory, hallelu
  • Now I'm fire-baptized and holy ghost-filled
    I'm out here to do my Master's will
    I must keep going and go I will
  • Glory, hallelu
    Well, glory... (how happy I am)...
    Ohhh, glory how happy I am
  • My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb
    Glory, hallelu
     
  • Part One:
     
    Part Two:
  •  
    So here it is taken one line at a time starting with....
     
  • FIRST VERSE ("When I was out in the world of sin..." etc)
     
    Start off by holding this position G-chord 3x5433 using these fingers...
  •  
    E||---|---|-I-|---|---|---
    B||---|---|-I-|---|---|---
  • G||---|---|---|-M-|---|---
    D||---|---|---|---|-R-|---
    A||---|---|---|---|---|---
  • E||---|---|-T-|---|---|---
     
    Using the thumb on the 6-string instead of holding the more conventional
  • barred G-chord makes this line a whole lot easier. You get the notes
    simply by holding and releasing and re-holding the position, which is
    much more difficult using a regular barre-chord. (The 5-string note
  • could also be held, but isn't needed.)
     
    E)--3-------3----0---------------0----3------5----------
  • B}----------4---(0)--3---0---3---0----3------3----------
    G)----------5---(0)-----(0)--4-------(4)-----5----------
    D)-------------------------------0-----------0----------
  • A)------------------------------------------------------
    E)------3--------0---3---0---3--------3-----------------
     
  • For the last chord xx0535 add your pinkie down onto the 1-string
    (xxxxx5) and moving your ring over to the 3-string (xxx5xx) now leaves
    you holding xx0535. This is a D7. (An optional note may be added to the
  • 4-string/4-fret (xx4535) by moving the middle finger over, giving a D7
    with a double-7th, if or when you might want to vary the tone of the
    chord a bit.)
  •  
    Now slide your pinkie and ring up to the 7th-fret (xxx7x7) and lifting
    your index up and putting it on the 4-string (xx5xxx) now gives you
  • xx5707. Slide the pinkie and ring back down to xxx5x5. Use your index
    for making xxx0x3, and as you pinch the x0xxx0 it gives to time to hold
    the C-chord x32013 (xRMOIP), then up two frets for x54x35. As you slide
  • up two more frets re-position your ring and index to hold xx5707 again.
    That last "leading" open xxxxx0 note will give you time to move into
    the next line.
  •  
    E)---7---7----5---3---0----3----5-----7----------0---------
    B}--(0)--0----------------(1)--(3)----0--------------------
  • G)--(7)--7----5---0-------------------7--------------------
    D)---5--------------------(2)--(4)----5--------------------
    A)--------------------0----3----5--------------------------
  • E)---------------------------------------------------------
     
    This near-the-nut sequence of chords is a little complex, but they
  • actually sort of flow from one to the next and so isn't as difficult as
    it might at first seem to be. Start by holding C-chord x32013 again.
    (If possible, hold 332013 using the ring finger-tip to hold both
  • 33xxxx. It takes a little bit of practice if you aren't used to it).
     
    E|--3---|-(Chord-on--|---3-----3---0--------------0----3---5--------|
  • B|--1---|---right----|---1-----1------3---0---3--(3)---2--(2)-------|
    G|--0---|-Preferred)-|---0----(0)--------(0)-----------2---2--------|
    D|------|------------|---------2------0---2---2--------2------------|
  • A|--3---|-(Either----|---3----------------2---3---------------------|
    E|--3---|-will-work)-|--------------------0-------------------------|
     
  • You move through that C-chord, into partial Em7 and Em, on into a
    Cadd9, then A7, the A. First hold the C (3)32013 for two pinches. The
    open 1-string note gives you time to hold the partial Em7 xx0x3x (use
  • your ring), then add the 5 and 6 strings 2nd-fret Em notes (if you're
    able, try to hold them both with just the index finger-tip). Then
    put your middle finger on x3xxxx for that Cadd9. From that position
  • it's easy to just sort of "roll" your index finger over barring the
    xx2222 and the ring to xxxxx3, now giving you the A7 xx2223. And,
    chord xxx225.
  •  
    (So all those changes do sort of sequence into each other nicely
    making that change through six different chord-fragments not too
  • tough with a little practice. Slowly at first, and then moving up to
    speed.)
     
  • From there to an Aadd9. Use the partial shape of a barred 5th-fret A
    chord xx7655 and add the pinkie above it (xxxxx7) for the x07657.
    Holding it that way makes it easier to move back down the neck
  • through the D7 again and to the G.
     
    E|---7----7---5---5--3-----------3----------------|

    D|---7--------0---4------0---2--------------------|
  • A|--(0)--------------2---------------2------------|
    E|-------------------3---------------3------------|
     
  • Ending in a quick-change G-C-G. (Holding the G 320003 RM000P makes
    quick change to C-frag xx2x1x (using xxMxIx) easier.)
     
  • -BRIDGE ("And he took my feet out of the miry clay..." etc)
     
    Begin by holding this G-chord x x 0 7 8 10 using
  • this fingering. (Sort of a D-shaped chord with the
    pinkie added above.)

    position again to like what was played at the end of
    the first verse...

  • -REFRAIN ("O Glory, how happy I am..." etc)
     
    For the refrain using mostly "near the nut" open-chords for their strength,
  • with a few simple fingering changes/additions to follow the melody-line a
    bit more closely. Using more of an alternating-thumb style than the mostly
    pinches used above.
