The last time I cried, I was sitting home,
C
And it was deep in the night,
BbDm
Staring at the shadows and the flickering lights,
AmDm
Giving all that I had, to take them away,
CDm
Giving all that I had, to make them pay,
Dm
The last time I cried, I could see the people,
C
Long ago in the rain,
BbDm
Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train,
AmDm
And the hands on the bars, the eyes full of tears,
CDm
And the word is the same, for a thousand years,
BbCBbF
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
DmBbCBbCDm
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
Dm
The last time I cried, I could not believe it,
C
When I held on a face,
BbDm
Staring at a soldier with his gun in the rain,
AmDm
It was the face of a child, my child here asleep,
CDm
And the soldier who smiled, the man was me,
BbCBbF
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
DmBbCBbCDmCDmCDm
Eli Eli Lama, oh why, have you forsaken me?
BbCBbCDm
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
