[Intro]
Em C G x2
[Verse 1]
Em C They said this preacher man
GComes from Galilee
Em C G Did something so absurd that
He deserves 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 D And how can it be?
[Chorus]
Em CI Am Barabbas
GYou took upon my cross
Em CI was a prisoner
G'Til you bought my bond with blood
Em C GAnd I can't run away
Em C GFrom what my accusers say
Em C'Cause I Am Barabbas
G DI Am Barabbas
Em C GYour friend
Em C G
[Verse 3]
Em C They made me sit right there
GAs I watched them beat that preacher
man
Em C G Thirty-nine 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
[Chorus]
Em CI Am Barabbas
GYou took upon my cross
Em CI was a prisoner
G'Til you bought my bond with blood
Em C GAnd I can't run away
Em C GFrom what my accusers say
Em C'Cause I Am Barabbas
G DI Am Barabbas
Em C GYour friend
Em C G x3
[Verse 4]
Em C I'll never understand the
GRepercussions of my every sin
Em C Is this love?
GOr is this hatred flowing out from
bitterness
Em C G How can it be?
(pause)
Em C D But He looked at me
And I said-
[Chorus]
Em CI Am Barabbas
GYou took upon my cross
Em CI was that prisoner
G'Til you bought my bond with blood
Em C GAnd I can't run away
Em C GFrom what my accusers say
Em C'Cause I Am Barabbas
G DOh, I Am Barabbas
Em N.C.
I Am Barabbas your friend
