Introduction:
Dm
The last time I cried, I was sitting home,
C
And it was deep in the night,
Bb Dm
Staring at the shadows and the flickering lights,
Am Dm
Giving all that I had, to take them away,
C Dm
Giving all that I had, to make them pay,
Dm
The last time I cried, I could see the people,
C
Long ago in the rain,
Bb Dm
Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train,
Am Dm
And the hands on the bars, the eyes full of tears,
C Dm
And the word is the same, for a thousand years,
Bb C Bb F
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
Dm Bb C Bb C Dm
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
Dm
The last time I cried, I could not believe it,
C
When I held on a face,
Bb Dm
Staring at a soldier with his gun in the rain,
Am Dm
It was the face of a child, my child here asleep,
C Dm
And the soldier who smiled, the man was me,
Bb C Bb F
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
Dm Bb C Bb C Dm C Dm C Dm
Eli Eli Lama, oh why, have you forsaken me?
Bb C Bb C Dm
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,

The last time I cried, the last time I cried,

The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
