I Am Barabbas

[Intro] Em  C  G

[Primera Parte]

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?

[Segunda Parte]

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?

[Estribillo]

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

[Tercera Parte]

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

[Cuarta Parte]

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 -
