Intro: Abm E B (x2)

Verse 1:
Abm              E
  They said this preacher man
B
Comes from Galilee
Abm             E              B
  Did something so absurd that He deserves to serve my penalty
Abm   E      B
  How can it be?

Verse 2:
Abm           E
  I know I've done my wrongs
       B
'Cause doing wrong is something I do well
Abm          E                B
  I know the court of law and something like this doesn't ring a bell
Abm   E      B
  How can it be?
Abm       E      Gb
  And how can it be?

Chorus:
Abm    E
I am Barabbas
    B
You took upon my cross
Abm     E
I was a prisoner
         B
'Til you bought my bond with blood
    Abm     E    B
And I can't run away
     Abm       E      B
From what my accusers say
       Abm    E
'Cause I am Barabbas
B      Gb
I am Barabbas
   Abm      E B
Your friend

Interlude: Abm E B

Verse 3:
Abm            E
  They made me sit right there
     B
As I watched them beat that preacher man
Abm      E                B
  Thirty-nine of all them lashes should've been on my own skin
Abm   E      B
  How can it be?
Abm   E      Gb
  How can it be? Oh

Chorus:
Abm    E
I am Barabbas
    B
You took upon my cross
Abm     E
I was a prisoner
         B
'Til you bought my bond with blood
    Abm     E    B
And I can't run away
     Abm       E      B
From what my accusers say
       Abm    E
'Cause I am Barabbas
B      Gb
I am Barabbas
   Abm  E B
Your friend

Interlude: Abm E B (x3)

Verse 4:
Abm          E
  I'll never understand the
B
Repercussions of my every sin
Abm       E
  Is this love?
           B
Or is this hatred flowing out from bitterness
Abm   E      B
  How can it be?
(pause)
Abm      E         Gb
  But He looked at me
And I said-

Chorus:
Abm    E
I am Barabbas
    B
You took upon my cross
Abm        E
I was that prisoner
         B
'Til you bought my bond with blood
    Abm     E    B
And I can't run away
     Abm       E      B
From what my accusers say
       Abm    E
'Cause I am Barabbas
    B      Gb
Oh, I am Barabbas
Abm       (nc)
I am Barabbas your friend
