Chords for Loretta Lynn - The Third Man

_ _ _ _ You know our favorite numbers on the Wilbur Brothers show each week are the old-time hymns not too long ago
Loretta Lynn recorded a special selection in one of her long play albums that I guess she gets more requests for than any other number
She's ever recorded
Called the third man today.
We have asked Loretta to do the third man for you
_ _ _ Last night I dreamed
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [C] Walk _ _ [G] up _ _ _ [Bm] Calvary's _ lonely _ _ hill
_ _ _ The [G] _ things I saw _ [B] with my [C] _ _ _ _
eyes
Could [G] not _ [A] have been more [Bm] real _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] I saw upon three crosses _ _
_ _ [C] Three men in agony _ _
_ _ [Em] Two [Bm] cried out for mercy _
And [D] _ [G] the third [F#] man looked [A] at me _
_ [D] _ _ And [G] oh the hurt in this man's eyes
_ _ Just broke my heart in [B] two
[G] It _ [C] seemed that [G] I could hear him say
_ _ [Bm] I'm doing this for [G] you
_ _ _ _ I knelt [A] beneath the third man's cross
[Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ And slowly bowed my head
[Em] I [C] _ _
reached out to touch his [G] feet _ _ _
And it stained my hand with red
_ [D] _ _ _
And when I heard him cry in [Bm] pain
_ I [G] raised my eyes to see
_ The blood [Bm] spilled from a third man's side
[G] _ _ [B] And some of it [G] spilled on me
_ _ [C] _ _
The [G] third man wore a crown of thorns
Spikes held him to the tree
I heard him say
Oh God, my God
_ _ [B] [Em] Hast thou forsaken me?
[C] _
_ _ _ And there [G] was in a mighty crowd
_ _ The ones who mocked him [D] cried _
Said King, [Bm] save thyself if thou art king
_ _ [G] And then the third man died _
[B] _ _ Suddenly [G] I heard a thunder roar
[B] I saw lightning [G] pierce the sky
_ _ [D] _
The third man was [G] still hanging there _ _
And I began [Bm] to cry _ _ _
[G] I saw the boulders fall
And heard the [C] breaking of the ground
_ _ Then I awoke
Though I dreamed
_ I touched my cheek
[D] And found
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ My eyes were wet
_ _ Where [B] I had [Bm] cried
[Em] _ _ [G] A dream _ [D] I wished I [G] knew
_ [Bm] _ _ I [G]
still can hear
[B] _ The _ [B] third [C] man say _ _
[G] I'm doing _ _ this _ [Bm]
for [G] _ you _ _ _ _
