Am              Em
I Am A thief, I Am A murderer
        C               Am
Walking up this lonely hill.
             Am              Em
What have I done?  I dont remember
         C               Am
Nooone knows just how I feel.
        E            F              Am
And I know, that my time, is coming soon.


              Am              Em
It's been so long, oh such a long time
             C                        Am

And I know that my time is coming soon


             Am             Em
Who is this man?  This man beside me
      C                    Am
they call the king of the Jews.
             Am                     Em
They don't believe that he's the Messiah.
       C                 Am
But somehow I know it's true.

          E
Oh they laugh at him in mockery
     F                 Am
and beat him till he bleeds.
      E               
They nail him to that rugged cross,
      F                 C                Am
and raise him...  They raise him next to me.


             Am                 Em
My time has come.  I'm slowly fading.
     C              Am
I deserve what I receive.
             Am               Em
Jesus, when you are in your kingdom

He looks at me still holding on
F                        Am
The tears fall from his eyes.
    E
He says, I tell you the truth...
F               C                 Am
Today you will live with me in Paradise.

And I know that my time is coming soon.
       E            F              Am
And I know that my time is coming soon.
       E            F
