Dm C Dm C Dm 

     Dm 
The last time I cried, I was sitting home, 
            C 
And it was deep in the night, 
  Bb                             Dm 
Staring at the shadows and the flickering lights, 
                   Am                 Dm 
Giving all that I had, to take them away, 
                   C                 Dm 
Giving all that I had, to make them pay, 

     Dm 
The last time I cried, I could see the people, 
       C 
Long ago in the rain, 
 Bb                              Dm 
Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train, 
                      Am                     Dm 
And the hands on the bars, the eyes full of tears, 
                     C                    Dm 
And the word is the same, for a thousand years, 

  Bb              C                 Bb    F 
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me, 
  Dm       Bb     C                Bb C   Dm 
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me, 

     Dm 
The last time I cried, I could not believe it, 
        C 
When I held on a face, 
  Bb                           Dm 
Staring at a soldier with his gun in the rain, 
                       Am                    Dm 
It was the face of a child, my child here asleep, 
                      C                  Dm 
And the soldier who smiled, the man was me, 

  Bb              C                 Bb    F 
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me, 
  Dm       Bb      C              Bb C   Dm C Dm C Dm 
Eli Eli Lama, oh why, have you forsaken me? 
  Bb              C                Bb C   Dm 
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me, 

      Dm                     Bb 
 The last time I cried, the last time I cried, 
C     Dm                     Bb               C Dm Bb C Dm Bb 
 The last time I cried, the last time I cried, 
C     Dm               Bb 
 The last time I cried,  
C     Dm               Bb 
 The last time I cried,  
C     Dm               Bb 
 The last time I cried,  
C     Dm               Bb 
 The last time I cried,  
      C        Dm 
 The last time,
