^AmWhy did it h^Gave to ^Ambe a friend Who ch^Dmose to bet^Gray the L^Amord ^AmWhy did he ^Guse a k^Amiss to show That's n^Dmot what a k^Giss is f^Amor O^Cnly a friend can betr^Gay a friend A st^Amranger has nothing to ga^Ein And ^Amonly a f^Griend comes ^Amclose enough To ^Dmever cause ^Gso much p^Amain

And ^Dmwhy did there h^Cave to ^Dmbe thorny ^GmCrown pressed up^Con His h^Dmead It ^Dmshould have b^Ceen the r^Dmoyal one Made of j^Gmewels and g^Cold ins^Dmtead ^CIt had to be a c^Grown of thorns Bec^Amause in this life that we l^Eive ^AmAll who would s^Geek to l^Amove A thorn is a^Dmll that this w^Gorld can g^Amive

(use the same chords as in the first verse) And why did it have to be A heavy cross He was made to bare And why did they nail His feet and hands His love would have held Him there It was a cross for upon a cross A thief was supposed to pay And Jesus had come into the world To steal every heart away Yes, Jesus had come into the world To steal every heart away ------------------------------------------ This is how I play it.
