 C9                           F               G/B 
We rode into town the other day,
 C           C/E         F       G 
Just me and my daddy.
 C                               F             G/B 
He said I’d finally reached the age
 C                             Gm   C                 F         C/E 
And I could ride next to him on a horse
 Dm                                           G/B 
That of course was not quite as wide
 C/E               F                 G/B       C 
We heard a crowd of people shouting,
 C/E                 F                 G/B 
And so we stopped to find out why.
 C                                   Gm   C               F               C/E 
There was that man that my dad said he loved
 Dm                                                         G4  Fm  Bb/D 
But today there was fear in his eyes.
 Eb                                   Bb/D 
So I said, "Daddy why are they screaming?
 Cm                                       Eb                 Eb/G 
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
 Ab                                               Eb/G 
Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?
 Fm                                                       Ab                       Bb/D 
I’ll bet that crown hurts him more than he shows.
 Eb                                       Bb/D 
Daddy, please, can’t you do something?
 Cm                             Eb/G               F/A 
He looks as though he’s gonna cry.
 Fm                                             Eb/G 
You said he was stronger than all of those guys.
 Ab                     G/B           Cm  Eb 
Daddy please tell me why,
 Fm             Bb                     Eb         Dm  G 
Why does everyone want him to die?”
 C9                           F               G/B 
Later that day the sky grew cloudy
 C           C/E         F       G 
And Daddy said I should go inside.
 C                               F             G/B 
Somehow he knew things could get stormy.
 C                             Gm   C                 F               C/E 
Boy, was he right! But I could not keep from wonderin’
 Dm                                           G/B 
If there was something he had to hide
 C/E               F                 G/B       C 
So after he left I had to find out.
 C/E                 F                 G/B 
I was not afraid of getting lost.
 C                                   Gm   C               F                     C/E 
So I followed the crowds to a hill where I knew men had been killed,
 Dm                                                         G4  Fm  Bb/D 
And I heard a voice call from the cross
 Eb                                   Bb/D 
And he said, "Father why are they screaming?
 Cm                                       Eb                 Eb/G 
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
 Ab                                               Eb/G 
Why are they casting their lots for my robe?
 Fm                                                       Ab                       Bb/D 
This crown of thorns hurts me more than it shows.
 Eb                                       Bb/D 
Father, please, can’t You do something?
 Cm                             Eb/G               F/A 
I know that You must hear my cry.
 Fm                                             Eb/G 
I thought I could handle a cross of this size.
 Ab               G/B       Cm   Eb           Fm           Eb/G     F/A 
Father remind me why, why does everyone want me to die
 C/D             Gm                 F/A         G/B 
Oh, when will I understand why?

 F                               Em               A 
My precious Son, I hear them screaming,
 Dm                                               F 
and I’m watching the face of the enemy beaming.
 Bb                                                 Dm 
But soon I will clothe You in robes of my own.
 Gm                                               Bb/D 
Jesus, this hurts Me much more than You know.
 C/E                     F                              
But this dark hour I must do   nothing
 A7                     Dm                     F           G 
Though I’ve heard Your unbearable cry.
 Gm                                                   F/A 
The pow’r in Your blood destroys all of the lies.
 Bb                                                     Dm 
Soon You’ll see past their unmerciful eyes.
 Gm                             Bb/F        A7 
Look there below, see the child
 Dm                               G7 
Trembling by her father’s side.
 Gm                         F/A     Bb 
Now I can tell You why,
 Bb/D             C7                   Dm 
She is why You must die.
