“Because He Lives” is a classic hymn that continues to be widely used in worship, and this Because He Lives chord chart gives guitar players a simple way to lead it in both traditional and modern settings. The song has a steady, uplifting feel and works well in a variety of moments, especially around themes of hope, resurrection, and confidence in Christ.
The chords follow a familiar, hymn-style progression that’s easy to pick up on acoustic guitar or with a full band. Once you have the structure down, it’s more about keeping a steady tempo and letting the melody lead. You can play it in the key of C or G, or adjust with a capo depending on your vocal range. This chart is available in the key of C and G, along with a Nashville Numbers version for easy transposing.
