Verse 1

E5                  D5
The truth will ever hide
C5             D5
Even though I tried
     E5               D5
They tried to take my pride
         C5            D5           E5 D5
But they only took my father from me
     C5            D5      
They only took my father
E5   D5        C5
Even though I cried
E5   D5        C5     D5
Even though I tried again

Verse 2

    E5          D5
Sometimes I was afraid
C5             D5
Even though I prayed
     E5               D5
I've lost my religion now
    C5                 D5
You took that too somehow
E5    D5        C5
Blood upon thy hands
E5    D5        C5      D5
Blood upon thy hands again
