[Intro] G  D7  Am7
        F  Em  D
        F  Em7  Am

      F
I was in the crowd
    C7              Am
The day that Jesus died
          F              G
And as He hung upon the cross
           Am7
His mother cried

          Dm7                   
I saw the crown of thorns He wore
    C            
The stripes upon His back
F                         Bb  
  The water and the blood ran out
             E 
And then the sky turned black

F                         G
  My mind was filled with anger
Am                              
  My heart was filled with shame
F                       G
  This man brought only healing
Am7                        C7
  Who could bring Him pain?

    Dm7
Why does it seem the strong
      C                  
Always victimize the weak?
F                Bb
And suddenly I found myself
E
Standing to my feet and I cried

Am     G       Am     G  Am
Who nailed Him there?
     C        G         Am
This child of peace and mercy
Am     G       Am     G  Am
Who nailed Him there?
         C       G      Am
Come and face me like a man
Am     G       Am     G  Am
Who nailed Him there?
         C      G        Am
And the crowd began to mock me
         C                  
I cried, oh my God
  D            E
I do not understand!
       F                  G
Then I turned and saw the hammer
      Am         
In my hand!

     F            G     
I am just a Roman soldier
   Am
An ordinary man
F                  G  
I love my wife and children
  Am7
I do the best I can

Dm7
How could I have killed Him?
      Em7
There must be someone else
       F             G7
There's got to be an answer
  E  
I just can't blame myself

Am     G       Am     G  Am
Who nailed Him there?
     C        G         Am
This child of peace and mercy
Am     G       Am     G  Am
Who nailed Him there?
         C       G      Am
Come and face me like a man
Am     G       Am     G  Am
Who nailed Him there?
         C      G        Am
And the crowd began to mock me
         C                  
I cried, oh my God
  D            E
I do not understand!
       F                  G
Then I turned and saw the hammer
      Am         
In my hand!


Bm    A      Bm    A  Bm
I nailed Him there
    D        A         Bm              
The child of peace and mercy
Bm    A      Bm    A  Bm
I nailed Him there
  D      A      Bm                   
I am the guilty man!
Bm    A      Bm    A  Bm
I nailed Him there
        D        A        Bm
With my sins and my transgressions!
         D
I cried, oh my God
E          F#
Now I understand!
       G                  A
When I turned and saw the hammer
      Bm7
In my hand!
