[Verse 1]
The [C]court was adjourned
[G]and the pri[C]soner was tur[F]ned
With his [C]back to the [G]whip and [E]the crown
The [Am]verdict was reached
by the [Em]mob on the
Whose [C]fingers were
scratch[G]ing for [E]stones
And the [C]judge washed his [G]hands
of an [C]innocent man
[F]And his [C]weakness was [G]starting to [E]show
As the [Am]whiplash did sing,
he said, [Em]here is your king
And the [C]world [G]said, [E]no
And the [Am]whiplash did sing,
he said, [Em]here is your king,
and the [C]world [G]said, [C]no.
[G]And the han[C]ds that car[G]essed him,
the [C]hands that had [F]blessed him,
be[C]came [G]white fists of [E]rage.
And the [Am]palms that were raised
to the new [Em]king they praised
Became [C]whips for the [G]lowest of [E]slaves
[C]Lips that revered [G]him
and [C]mouths that had cheered [F]him
Turned [C]foul and [G]began to ac[E]cuse
And [Am]no one connected
the [Em]Christ they expected
With his [C]blood that was [G]spilled
on their [Am]shoes[Em]
Was [Am]it your face that I
[Em]saw in the crowd?
[Am]Was it your fist I saw r[Em]aise?
Was [Am]it your voice I
[Em]heard scream for his blood?
Your [C]mouth that was twis[G]ted with [E]rage
Ah, [C]did you join [G]in
when they [C]started to [F]sing
Cru[C]cify, [G]crucify [E]him
I [Am]know it was you, for [Em]I was there too
When the [C]world [G]said [E]no
Cos [Am]I know it's true,
for I [Em]stood next to you,
when the [C]world [G]said [Am]no[Em]
[G]He [C]did not resist,
as the man held his wrist[F]s,
for the [C]terrible [G]kiss [Em]off [E]the nose
And the [Am]crowd held its breath
as the [Em]crosspiece of death
With its [C]burden was [G]suddenly [E]raised
How [Em]did [C]you join in[G]
when they star[C]ted to [F]sing
[C]Crucify, cru[G]cify Him[E]
I [Am]know it was you,
for [Em]I was there too
When the [C]world [G]said [Em]no[E]
Cos [Am]I know it's true
For I [Em]stood next to you
When the [C]world [G]said no
[Am]
