Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
The court was adjourned
G 
C 
F 
and the prisoner was turned
C 
G 
E 
With his back to the whip and the crown
Am 
The verdict was reached
Em 
by the mob on the
C 
Whose fingers were
G 
E 
scratching for stones
C 
G 
And the judge washed his hands
C 
of an innocent man
F 
C 
G 
E 
And his weakness was starting to show
Am 
As the whiplash did sing,
Em 
he said, here is your king
C 
G 
E 
And the world said, no
Am 
And the whiplash did sing,
Em 
he said, here is your king,
C 
G 
C 
and the world said, no.
G 
C 
G 
And the hands that caressed him,
C 
F 
the hands that had blessed him,
C 
G 
E 
became white fists of rage.
Am 
And the palms that were raised
Em 
to the new king they praised
C 
G 
E 
Became whips for the lowest of slaves
C 
G 
Lips that revered him
C 
F 
and mouths that had cheered him
C 
G 
E 
Turned foul and began to accuse
Am 
And no  one connected
Em 
the Christ they expected
C 
G 
With his blood that was spilled
Am 
Em 
on their shoes
Am 
Was it  your face that I
Em 
saw in the crowd?
Am 
Em 
Was it your fist I saw raise?
Am 
Was it  your voice I
Em 
heard scream for his blood?
C 
G 
E 
Your mouth that was twisted with rage
C 
G 
Ah, did you join in
C 
F 
when they started to sing
C 
G 
E 
Crucify, crucify him
Am 
Em 
I know it was you, for I was there too
C 
G 
E 
When the world said no
Am 
Cos I   know it's true,
Em 
for I stood next to you,
C 
G 
Am 
Em 
when the world said no
G 
C 
He did not resist,
F 
as the man held his wrists,
C 
G 
Em 
E 
for the terrible kiss off the nose
Am 
And the crowd held its breath
Em 
as the crosspiece of death
C 
G 
E 
With its burden was suddenly raised
Em 
C 
G 
How did you join in
C 
F 
when they started to sing
C 
G 
E 
Crucify, crucify Him
Am 
I know it was you,
Em 
for I   was there too
C 
G 
Em 
E 
When the world said no
Am 
Cos I   know it's true
Em 
For I stood next to you
C 
G 
When the world said no
Am
