Intro Em  C  G 


Verse 1:

Em                  C 
They said that this preacher man 
G 
Comes from Galilee 
Em            C              G 
Did something so absurd that he deserved to serve my penalty 
Em  C      G 
How can it be? 

Verse 2:

Em          C 
I know I've done my wrongs 
       G 
'Cause doing wrong is something I do well 
Em         C                 G 
I know the court of law and something like this doesn't ring a bell 
Em   C     G 
How can it be? 
Em  C      G 
How can it be? 



Em     C 
I am Barabbas 
   G 
You took upon my cross 
Em      C 
I was a prisoner 
          G 
Till you bought my bond with blood 
Em      C       G 
I can't run away 
     Em      C        G 
From what my accusers say 
Em    C 
I am Barabbas 
G         D 
I am Barabbas 
           Em  C  G 
Your friend 

Verse 3:
 

Em           C 
They made me sit right there 
   G 
As I watched them beat that preacher man 
Em               C              G 
39 Of all them lashes should've been on my own skin 
Em     C   G 
How can it be? 
Em     C   D 
How can it be? Oh 

Verse 4:
 

Em            C 
I'll never comprehend the 
G 
Repercussions of my every sin 
Em 
Is this love? 
C                                    G 
Or is this hatred flowing out from bitterness 
Em  C      G 
How can it be? 
Em     C        D 
But he looked at me 

And I said -
