Here's my dying story.
_ [Am] Listen if [D] you will.
_ Welcome to the _ [G] crucifixion on Golgotha Hill.
[D] It was me and my old partner.
We [E] was liars, we was [D] thieves.
I saw the sun across the [G] hung man from Galilee.
[D] It seemed like in that moment that all my hope was lost.
The crowd was out for blood and [G] they circled us like dogs.
And the [Am] man from [D] Galilee, he turned to me and gave [Am] all these words of [D] everlasting compassion [G] that I took to my grave. _
[E] Words just as hard as they was [G] true. _
He said forgive them for [Dm] they know not what [D] they do. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yes, my name is Dismas.
I'll just get it off my chest.
I picked a rich man's pocket just [G] outside of Nazareth.
And they [D] dragged me to the jailhouse.
Beat me till I cried.
_ Now upon a crucifix [G] I'm dying for my [D] crimes.
[E] Seems a little harsh to me.
[G] How about you?
_ _ All these people [F] do not know what they [D] do. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I guess everybody [A] needs to [G] see some blood sometimes.
[D] _ Criminal convicted of [G] the crime.
_ _ _ [D] What's the point of living hard [G] and honest every day?
[E] The wicked don't get [G] what's coming their way. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [Am] He cried out for [D] his papa.
_ Asked his papa why.
A soldier grabbed a spear and drove [G] it deep into his side.
[D]
And the ground began to tremble and the temple opened wide.
[A] He hung [F#] his [D] head and said that it [G] was finished when he died.
And I [E] watched his brown skin fade [G] to blue.
All these people [F] do not know what [D] they do.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Slowly as we suffer, [E] the light leaked from [D] our eyes.
Three young men of love [G] and sin unjustly recognized.
[A] But before you [D] drag my body down and desecrate my bones.
[F#] Before you pass your judgments, man, [G] before you cast your [D] stones.
Oh, please [E] remember that I was once a man just [G] like you.
_ And these people [Dm] do not know what [D] they do.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I guess [Am] everybody needs to see [G] some blood sometimes.
_ [D] Criminal convicted [G] of the crime. _
_ _ [D] _ What's the point of living [G] hard and honest every day?
[D] [E] If the wicked don't get _ [G]
what's coming their way.
