C          F          C    F
My life is based on a true story
    C                     G
The greatest story ever told
    C          F            C    F
How God's only Son gave his life for me

Some two thousand     years a - go

[Chorus]
Am  D G      F        C
No, I wasn't there to see
    E                Am
The shame of Calva - ry
   D                  G
He suffered there for me
Am    D  G        A           Dm
Still he hears my heart con - fess
Dm7                       F   G
My unworthiness - my re - wards
C          F          C    F
My life is based on a true story
    C            G           F  C/E  G/D  C
The story of my     wondrous L – o –  r - d

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included some of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
