  			verse 1 
Bbm 
They stood Him up before the crowd 
Gb                Ebm         Ab 
Wrapped Him up in chains and said aloud 
Bbm 
“What shall we do with the King of the Jews” 
Gb                   Ebm       Ab 
And then they said “Crucify, crucify” 

Pre-Chorus 
        Gb 
And He dragged the cross 
Ebm              Bbm    F 
down the road to Calvary 

Chorus 
        F                    Bbm 
In His hands they drove the nails 
                               Gb 
In His side they stabbed the spear 
  	                   Ebm                Db 
On His head they placed a crown of piercing thorns 
        F                    Bbm 
In His hands they drove the nails 
                          Gb 
In His feet they did the same 
                           Ebm 
But there’s love that came with the blood that soaked the wood 
    Db             F 
He died and rose again forever crushed the grave

verse 2 
        Bbm 
So they took Him away spit in His face 
Gb          Ebm        Ab 
Mocking His name and cursing His grace 
Bbm 
Breaking His back with the blood-stained wood 
       Gb            Ebm            Ab 
As He walked to the place where my sin would have stood 

Pre-Chorus 
        Gb 
And He dragged the cross 
Ebm              Bbm    F 
down the road to Calvary 

Chorus 
        F                    Bbm 
In His hands they drove the nails 
                               Gb 
In His side they stabbed the spear 
  	                   Ebm                Db 
On His head they placed a crown of piercing thorns 
        F                    Bbm 
In His hands they drove the nails

In His feet they did the same 
                           Ebm 
But there’s love that came with the blood that soaked the wood 
    Db             F 
He died and rose again forever crushed the grave 

Bridge 
          Bbm                Gb     Db          Ab 
They watched as He hung bleeding all alone 
Bbm              Gb    Db                   Ab 
Crying out to God hanging on the cross 
           Bbm       Gb               Db             Ab 
They heard His cry from the depths of death 
      Bbm       Gb   Db              Ab 
He said that It is finished it is done! 

Chorus 
        F                    Bbm

In His feet they did the same 
                           Ebm 
But there’s love that came with the blood that soaked the wood 
    Db             F 
He died and rose again forever crushed the grave
