[Abm] _ _ [E] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ [E] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Abm] They [E] said this preacher man [B] comes from Galilee
_ [Abm]
There's something [E] so absurd [B] that he deserves to serve my [Abm] penalty
[E] How can [B] it be?
_ _ _ [Abm]
I [E] know I've done my [B] wrongs, doing wrong is something [Abm] I do well
I [E] know the court of [B] law on something like this [Abm] doesn't ring a bell
[E] How can [B] it be? _ _ _
[Abm] _ [E] How can [B] it be? _ _
[Abm] I [E] am [B] Barabbas, you took upon my cross
[Abm] I was [E] a prisoner till [B] you bought my bond for blood
[Abm] And I [E] can't [B] run away _ [Abm] from what [E] my [B] accusers say
_ [Abm] Cause I [E] am [B] Barabbas, I am [Abm] Barabbas your [E] friend
[B] They _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ [E] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
[E] made me sit right [B] there as I watched them beat that [Abm] preacher man
[E] 39 of [Abm] all them lashes should've been on my own skin
How can it [B] be?
_ _ _ [Ab] _
[E] How can [Gb] it be?
[B] _ _ [Abm]
I [E] am Barabbas, [B] you took upon my [Abm] cross
I [E] was a prisoner till [B] you bought my bond for blood
[Abm] And I [B] can't run away _ [Abm] from what my [E] [B] accusers say
_ [Abm] Cause I [E] am [B] Barabbas, I am [Abm] Barabbas your [E] friend
[B] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
[E] _ [B] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [E] _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [E] _ [B] _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ [E] I'll never [B] understand the repercussions of [Abm] my every sin
[E] Is this love [B] or is this hatred flowing out [Abm] from bitterness?
[E] How [Abm] can it be?
_ _ _ But he [B] looked at me [Abm] and I said
I [E] am [B] Barabbas, you took upon my cross
[Abm] I [E] was a prisoner [B] till you bought my bond for blood
[Abm] And I [B] can't run away _ [Abm] from what [E] my [B] accusers say
_ _ [Abm] Cause [E] I am [B] Barabbas, I am _ [Abm] Barabbas _ _ your _ friend _ _ _ _
