[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] According to your great [Bb] compassion.
_ [Fm] Blot out [Eb] my [Bb] many transgressions,
[Fm] And wash away all of my [Bb] iniquity, [Ab] cleanse me from [Eb] sin.
_ _ _ In the cool of the night, [Ab] when sleep should bring [Eb] an ending to the [Ab] day,
_ [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.
_ [Fm] Blot out my many [Bb] _ transgressions,
[Fm] And wash away all [Eb] of my [Bb]
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,
_ _ [Db] Don't let me fall like [Eb] that again.
_ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ [Bb] [Eb] Have mercy on me, O God, _ according to your [Ab] steadfast love,
_ [Fm] According to your [Eb] great [Bb] compassion.
_ [Fm] Blot out my [Eb] many [Bb] transgressions,
[Fm] And wash away all [Bb] of my iniquity, cleanse [Ab] me from sin.
_ [Eb] Have _ mercy on me, O God, _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Eb] according _ to your _ steadfast love,
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Fm] According [Bb] to your _ [Eb] steadfast love. _
