[Eb] [F] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
She's a story so unkind in [Db] the holy book [Ab] we find
It tells how Jesus [Fm]
[Ab] stood alone one [Eb] day
[Ab] Prosecuted and there condemned yet [Db] they found no [Ab] fault in him
The man who [Eb] wore the scarlet [Ab] purple robe
Purple robe my savior wore
Oh [Db] the shame for me [Ab] he bore
As he stood alone forsaken on [Eb] that day
And [Ab] they clasped upon his head
[Db] Piercing thorns of [Ab] bloodstained red
The man who wore [Eb] the scarlet [Ab] purple robe
[Eb]
[Ab]
In the common judgment hall
[Bbm] He was scorned [Db] and mocked by [Ab]
all
The tears of sorrow fell upon [Eb] his cheek
[Ab] Soldiers of the wicked man
Smote him [Db] with their evil [Ab] hand
His raiment [Eb] was a scarlet purple [Ab] robe
Purple robe my savior wore
Oh [Db] the shame for me [Ab] he bore
As he stood alone forsaken on [Eb] that day
And [Bb] [Ab] they clasped upon his head
[Db] Piercing thorns of [Ab] bloodstained red
The man who wore [Eb] the scarlet purple [Ab] robe
[Eb]
[Bbm] [Ab]
Words of truth that day was plain
[Db] From the lips of [Ab] Pilate king
In this man I see no reason he [Eb] should die
[Ab] But the multitude in the crowd
Let [Db] this man be [Ab] crucified
The man who wore [Eb] the scarlet purple [Ab] robe
Purple robe my savior wore
Oh [Bbm] the [Db] shame for me [Ab] he bore
As he stood alone forsaken on [Eb] that day
And [Bb] [Ab] they clasped upon his head
[Db] Piercing thorns of [Ab] bloodstained red
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
