Intro
Em  C  G

Verse 1
Em                  C
They said that this preacher man
G
Comes from Galilee
Em            C              G
Did something so absurd that He deserved this penalty
Em  C      G
How can it be?

Verse 2
Em          C
I know I've done my wrongs
      G
Cause doing wrong is something I do well
Em         C                G

Em  C      G

Em  C      G
How can it be?

Chorus
Em   C

G    D
I am Barabbas

Em       C                G
  Thirty-nine of all them lashes should've been on my own skin
Em  C      G
How can it be?
Em  C      G
How can it be?

Verse 4
Em         C
I'll never understand the
G
Repercussions of my sins
Em      C
Is this love?
           Em
Or is this hatred flowing out from bitterness
Em  C      G
How can it be?
pause
Em     C         G
But He looked at me
And I said-
