[Eb] [F] [Eb]
[F] [Eb] In the spring of the year [Ab] when kings go out [Eb] for fighting [Ab] and fame,
[Fm] Trumpets [Eb] [Db] split the dawn, [Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [Eb] and the women [Ab] waved, and the children cheered,
[Eb] As the army marched [Ab] away.
And [Fm] I, the king, [Ab] stood [Db] looking on.
[Bb] [Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your [Ab] steadfast love,

[Fm] I climbed the [Ab] [Db] palace stairs,
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
And from my roof [Ab] I looked below, [Eb] and I would not [Ab] look away
[Fm] From the woman who [Db] was there.
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] Have mercy on me, O God, according to your [Ab] steadfast love,
[Fm] According to your [Eb] great [Bb] compassion.

iniquity, cleanse [Eb] me from sin.
So I sent for her, [Ab] she came to me, [Eb] I brought her [Ab] to my room.
[Fm] Though she and [Db] others wise,
[Bbm] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] And the night was sweet [Ab] as we [Eb] embraced,
Though passing much [Ab] too soon,
[Fm] But the day [Db] came like a night.
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [Ab] O God, why was I [Bb] so hard-hearted, why was [Eb] I so [Gm] willing [Cm] to give in?
Please [Fm] hold on to me, help me hold on to you,

[Eb] according to your steadfast love,
[Cm] [Fm] According [Bb] to your [Eb] steadfast love.
