Me too! I've contacted Big Idea / VeggieTales two years in a row asking them to produce the accompaniment... no luck so far.

I found some chords for Hope's Song but they're all inaccurate, i'm still trying to find some chords that actually match the song. I'll let you know when i find anything.

I've looked around a bit also but haven't found anything.

It is very easy to figure out though. It's basically a couple of standard C chord progressions. (I was just playing with it yesterday)

I'm fairly bad at attempting to explain what I'm doing on my guitar, but here's my attempt at an explanation...

My appoligies if it makes no sense.

Thinking about the song in terms of 'sections'.....

For the first intro section it's C for the first couple of lines (play around with dropping your middle finger on the chord), the F-C-Am, F (then drop middle finger) - G

Then the transition between sections is esentially Bb - F (full bar chord) - C, Bb - F (full bar chord), G

After the intro and transition,

There's two more sections, then played again with different words ending with 'He died on a tree'.

It's not exactly correct, but the way I decided to play these sections is basically this:
(The lines of chords match up with the lines on the lyrics: http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/r/rebe...ong557254.html)

Section starting with 'Well the years.....'
C-Am-G-C
C-Am-G
F-C-Am
C-Am-G

transition

Then starting with 'He was born....'
F-G-C
F-G-C
F-G-Am
F-F (drop middle finger) - Dm7 - G

I'm afraid that may just look like a lot of jibberish. Like I said though, it's in C using some standard progressions.

Now, I'm also adding a lot of filler and fluf in there lots of places to create something that I like and that's fun to play.

Give it a try! Tune up your guitar with a tuner and play along with the recording on the video. It's actually a very easy song, and it's pretty easy to 'fancy it up' a bit.

I hope that helps,

C G
There’s a story that started on Christmas
C G
When a baby was born in the night
F C
And those who came far, who followed the star
Am F G G
Were seeing a heavenly sight ...
Bb F F C Bb F F-G
a heavenly sight.

C Am G C
Well the years hurried by, and the boy, now a man
Am F Bb
Could make the blind see with a touch of his hand
Am F C
He was born to be King -- he was Rabbi and Priest
Am F G
But the best that he had, he gave to the least ...
Bb F F C
He gave to the least.

F Am G C
He was born and he died, almost 2,000 years ago
F Am G C
He laughed and he cried, he felt all the fears we know
F Am G A2
But what does it matter? A story so strange ...
Bb G
Even if it is true, what does it change?
Bb F Bb F
What does it change?

C Am G C
Well he spoke like a prophet -- like no one they’d heard
Am F Bb
This simple young carpenter -- crowds hung on every word
Am F C
He hated injustice -- He taught what is right
Am F G
He said “I’m the way, and the truth, and the light.”

F Am G C
His friends soon believed that truly he was the one.
F Am G C
The Savior, Messiah, God’s one and only son.
F Am G A2
But others, they doubted, they did not agree
Dm
So they took him, they tried him,
F G
He died on a tree ...
C
He died on a tree.


F C
God has made a way
G Am
for all who mourn and grieve
F C Am G
Death will never be the end
F G C
if you just believe.

C
There is nothing left to fear
Am G C
nothing Heaven knows
F G Am G
For he died for us to give us life
F G C
and to give us hope He rose
F G Am G
He died for us to give us life
F G C
And to give us hope He rose.
