[Eb]
[Fm] [Eb] [Fm]
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
Just [Eb] another early morning as the sun [Fm] began to rise
Like a [Eb] million other mornings [Fm] just the same
The [Eb] people of the town began their [Ab] ordinary lives
[Eb] Unsuspecting of a world about [Fm] to change
This was not just any other [Eb] day
[Ab] No, no, no, [Eb] no, no
[Fm]
It was not just any other [Eb] day
[Ab] No
[Eb] [Fm]
[Gb] But little did they know that [Db] on the other side of [Fm] town
The sin of all humanity [Db] would bleed beneath the crown
[Bbm] Of a man whose only blame [Ab] was being born a [Db] king
And [Bbm] I [Fm] [Eb]
[Db] wish [Ab] that I could have felt that [Eb]
rain on me
I [Fm] [Eb]
[Db] wish [Ab] that I could have felt [Eb] that rain
I would have looked [Fm] into your dying [Eb] eyes instead [Db] of you and just [Ab] believed the thought
Is this what [Eb] you've been telling me two thousand years?
[Db] [Eb] [Fm]
It [Db] was [Ab] business as usual, nothing different [Db] at all
[Ab] As dust would [Eb] cast a shadow, [Fm] the night began to fall
But [Ab] no one stopped to notice that before this day would end
The sick and [Eb] the afflicted [Fm] need never hurt again
Not just any [Db] other [Ab] day
[Db] No, no, [Ab] no, [Eb] no, no
[Fm]
It was not just [Db] any other [Ab] day
[Db] No
[Eb] And [Fm]
[Bbm] as a small crowd gathered just [Ab] beneath the dying sun
The [Eb] fulfillment of a promise had been [Fm] done
And [Bbm] [Fm] I [Eb]
[Db] [Ab] wish that I could have felt that [Eb] rain on me
[Bbm] I [Fm] [Eb]
[Ab] wish that I could have felt that [Eb] rain
I [Bbm] would have looked [Fm] into your [Eb] dying eyes [Db] instead of you and [Ab] just believed the thought
Is this what you've [Eb] been telling me?
[Bbm] [Fm] [Eb]
[Db] [Ab] I wish that I could have felt that [Eb] rain
Two [Fm] thousand years [F] ago
[Gb]
[Ab] [Fm] Two thousand years ago
[Gb]
[Db]
[Dbm]
[Bb]
[Eb] It was not just [Ab] any other [Eb] day [Ab] No
Not [Eb]
[Fm] just any other [Eb] day
[Ab] I [Eb]
[Fm] [Bbm] [Fm]
[Eb] [Db] [Ab] wish that I could [Eb] have felt that rain on me
[Bbm] I
[Eb] [Db] [Ab] wish that I could have felt that [Eb] rain
[Bbm] Hey, I would have cried with my own [Eb] ears when you shouted [Db] out in tears and [Ab] said
Mother, why have you [Eb] forsaken me?
[Bbm] I
[Eb] [Db] [Ab] wish that I could have felt that [Eb] rain on me
[Bbm] I
[Eb] [Ab] wish that I could have felt that [Eb] rain
Two [Fm] thousand years ago
[F] [Gb]
[Ab] It [Db] was not just any [Fm] other day
[Eb] It [Db] was not just [Fm] any other [F] day
[Eb] Oh,
[F]
[Db]
two thousand years
