Verse 1
C               F
How miserable I am
                                                 C
I feel like a fruit-picker who arrives after the harvest
                        F
There's nothing here at all
                                          Am 
Nothing at all here that could placate my hunger
          C              F   
The godly people are all gone
                                             C
There's not one honest soul left here on the planet
                        F 
We're all murderers and thieves
                                Am 
Setting traps here for even our brothers

Chorus 1
    Gsus2       F
And both of our hands
            C
Are equally skilled
Gsus2    F
At doing evil
        C
Equally skilled
   Gsus2       F
At bribing the judges
        C
Equally skilled
Gsus2         F  
At perverting justice
            Gsus2
Both of our hands
            C
Both of our hands

Verse 2
    C              F
The day of justice comes
                        C
And is even now swiftly arriving
                      F
Don't trust anyone at all
                                  Am
Not your best friend or even your wife
        C             F
For the son hates the father
                               C 
The daughter despises even her mother
                      F 
Look Your enemies are right
                               Am  
Right in the room of your very household

Chorus 1

Interlude

Bridge
    D                Gsus2  
No, don't gloat over me

For though I fall, though I fall
            D     Dsus2  D
I will rise again
                     Gsus2
Though I sit here in darkness

The Lord, the Lord alone
              Bm    Riff
He will be my light
          Asus4          Gsus2 
I will be patient as the Lord
                                        D
Punishes me for the wrongs I've done against Him
                         Gsus2
After that He'll take my case

Bringing me to light and to justice
               Bm
For all I have suffered

Chorus 2
    Asus4       Gsus2 
And both of His hands
            D
Are equally skilled

At ruining evil
        D
Equally skilled
Asus4          Gsus2
At judging the judges
        D
Equally skilled
Asus4         Gsus2
Administering justice
            Asus4
Both of His hands
            Gsus2
Both of His hands

Chorus 3
            D
Are equally skilled
Asus4         Gsus2
At showing me mercy
        Bm
Equally skilled
Asus4         Gsus2
At loving the loveless
        D
Equally skilled
Asus4         Gsus2
Administering justice
            Asus4    
Both of His hands
            Gsus2  A  D  
Both of His hands
