I Am Barabbas

[Intro] Em  C  G

[Primera Parte]

Em                  C
They said that this preacher man
G

Em            C              G

deserved to serve my penalty
Em  C      G

[Segunda Parte]

Em          C
I know I've done my wrongs
       G
'Cause doing wrong is something I do

G         D

           Em  C  G
Your friend

As I watched them beat that preacher
 man
Em               C              
39 Of all them lashes should've been
G
 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

How can it be?
Em     C        D
