      F 
I was in the crowd 
    C7              Am 
The day that Jesus died 
          F              G 
And as He hung upon the cross 
           Am7 
His mother cried 

          Dm7                    
I saw the crown of thorns He wore 
    C             
The stripes upon His back 
F                         Bb   
  The water and the blood ran out 
             E  
And then the sky turned black 

F                         G 
  My mind was filled with anger 
Am                               
  My heart was filled with shame 
F                       G 
  This man brought only healing 
Am7                        C7 
  Who could bring Him pain? 

    Dm7 
Why does it seem the strong 
      C                   
Always victimize the weak? 
F                Bb 
And suddenly I found myself 
E 
Standing to my feet and I cried 

Am     G       Am     G  Am 
Who nailed Him there? 
     C        G         Am 
This child of peace and mercy 
Am     G       Am     G  Am 
Who nailed Him there? 
         C       G      Am 
Come and face me like a man 
Am     G       Am     G  Am 
Who nailed Him there? 
         C      G        Am 
And the crowd began to mock me 
         C                   
I cried, oh my God 
  D            E 
I do not understand! 
       F                  G 
Then I turned and saw the hammer 
      Am          
In my hand! 

     F            G      
I am just a Roman soldier 
   Am 
An ordinary man 
F                  G   
I love my wife and children 
  Am7 
I do the best I can 

Dm7 
How could I have killed Him? 
      Em7 
There must be someone else 
       F             G7 
There's got to be an answer 
  E   
I just can't blame myself 

Am     G       Am     G  Am 
Who nailed Him there? 
     C        G         Am 
This child of peace and mercy 
Am     G       Am     G  Am 
Who nailed Him there? 
         C       G      Am 
Come and face me like a man 
Am     G       Am     G  Am 
Who nailed Him there? 
         C      G        Am 
And the crowd began to mock me 
         C                   
I cried, oh my God 
  D            E 
I do not understand! 
       F                  G 
Then I turned and saw the hammer 
      Am          
In my hand!

I nailed Him there 
    D        A         Bm               
The child of peace and mercy 
Bm    A      Bm    A  Bm 
I nailed Him there 
  D      A      Bm                    
I am the guilty man! 
Bm    A      Bm    A  Bm 
I nailed Him there 
        D        A        Bm 
With my sins and my transgressions!

I cried, oh my God 
E          F# 
Now I understand! 
       G                  A 
When I turned and saw the hammer 
      Bm7 
In my hand!
