He Is Real Acoustic Live chords by Dolly Parton

Performance @ The Porter Wagoner Show 1968

Verse :
A       D   A
All about me, I can see the
D     A     E   A
things His mighty hands have made.
A     A        D
Brooks and streams and the peaceful
A
meadow
D          E     A
Trees that fill the earth with shade.


D     G     D  D
Winds that blow from all directions,
     G       D  E
some that warm and some that chill.

A        D   A
When in doubt I look around me, then I know
   E    A
that He is real.

A   D      D      A E
He is real, He is Real, He is Real.


    D      A     E
He’s as real as the sun in the heavens,
A      D       A      E
the moon and stars and the piles of the air.
A    G    A       A    D
He’s as real the summer roses, for His hands
A  D      E
have placed them there,

A                D           A
He’s as real as the valley and the mountains,
A          D   E
the dandelion and the daffodils.

A        D    A
And I am part of His creation, and in my
    E     A
heart I know He’s real.


A   D      D      A E   G
He is Real, He is Real, He is Real.

A         D    A D      A
I find it hard to understand how one can see
G    A      A       D
and not believe that everything is far on
A    D       E     A
purpose, He has planned it carefully.


D    G    D   A       D
Man will look on God’s creation, and in their
D            E
minds they’ll doubt Him still.


A            D     A
But things so marvelous just don’t happen,
A         G     A
and in my heart I know He’s real.


A   D      D      A E G
He is Real, He is Real, He is Real.


D    G      D     A    D
He’s as real as the sun in the heavens, the
     G       D      A
moon and stars and the piles of the air.
D    G    D      D      D
He’s as real the stars in the heavens, for His
G     D      A
hands have placed them there.

A          D       A
He’s as real as the valley and the mountains,
A           D      E
the dandelion and the lily of the field.

A        D    A
And I am part of His creation, and in my
   E      A   D E
heart I know He’s real.
