Chorus:
W[F]as it bitter then,with our backs against the w[C/G]all
W[G]ere we better men,then we'd ever been bef[C/G]ore
S[F]ay if she came again today,would you still answer to the c[C/G]all
T[G]ell the truth my friend,don't it matter anym[C/G]ore
Verse 1:
W[F]e were simple men,by her side when she was b[C/G]orn
I[G]t was simple then,like the freedom when you f[C/G]all
W[F]e were smaller then you see,but soon we gathered like a st[C/G]orm
Th[G]ey don't understand what that thunder meant at [C/G]all
Verse 2:
W[F]as he crucified,was he done in by the l[C/G]aw
A[G]re you satisfied that he'll never ride ag[C/G]ain
S[F]ome people say he got away,they say he never died at [C/G]all
I[G]f that story's true,does it bother you my fr[C/G]iend
