I awoke from a dream
in the middle of the night
When the door burst open
C

and in streamed the light
A man was thrown in,
more dead than alive
C
F
On his face I could see the blood glisten
I could tell at a glance
Bb
F
he'd been beat black and blue
He lay there unconscious
C

but then he'd come to
I said, tell me friend,
Bb

what on earth did you do?
He said, I told them but

they wouldn't listen

but he didn't speak again

in his blood and his pain

The morning broke,
it was starting to rain
G

And the guards come in and they got us
G

Out to the courtyard in the cool morning air

A crowd was waiting,

but why were they there?

Two small -time losers,
what did they care?

already forgotten

Well,

was the governor's own voice

He raised up his hands
and the mob ceased their noise

According to custom,
I'm giving you the choice

Well, mob went crazy

and cried out my name shouting,

Give us Barabbas again and again.

My hands are clean.

Give us Barabbas.

to a far distant land

till I understand

I'll tell every one,
every woman and man
G

Of the strange things I have beheld here
