Jason Eady – Barabbas chords

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
            GI heard the judge ask the jury, "Which one's the one to go?"
      GAnd I heard 'em say my name and why I'll never know
C/GThey unchained my feet, they unshackled my hands
    GAnd they let me go instead of that innocent man

[Chorus]
           Em                       DI've got a second chance, I'm gonna make it count
        C/GMake my way out west, maybe head down south
Em               DLive a life of a pardoned man
  G                                C/G  GBelieving in things I don't understand

[Verse 2]
          GWell, the guilt hangs twice as heavy when it's followed by a surprise

I'd surrendered, I was ready to give up and do my time
  C/GI did not know his name, did not know why he was there
            GBut on this side of forgiveness, we both have our cross to bear

[Chorus]
           Em                       DI've got a second chance, I'm gonna make it count
        C/GMake my way out west, maybe head down south
Em               DLive a life of a pardoned man
  G                                C/G  GBelieving in things I don't understand

[Instrumental]
Em  D  C/G  x2
G  C/G  G

[Verse 3]
        GWell, I know that I am free 'cause they did not like his kind

The man who preaches peace is always looking for a fight
    C/GAnd now I must go on, always knowin' that I'm bound
   GTo try to make the best of this freedom I have found

[Chorus]
           Em                       DI've got a second chance, I'm gonna make it count
        C/GMake my way out west, maybe head down south
Em               DLive a life of a pardoned man
  G                                C/G  GBelieving in things I don't understand
