C                                      G 
Ever since the first time I laid eyes upon you 
F                                        C 
You don't know how hard it is to let you go 
C                                        G 
Even in the first when we were started 
F                                              C 
I told you man was here to live but he had to go 
                     C                G 
So you killed Jesus, you killed Abraham too 
                 F                       C 
You killed Martin, what you here to do? 
C                                    G 
Now we're gonna play you the feelings 
F                    C 
That they all left behind
