Hammer effect intro: 
Bang on guitar side with open strings twice, then once with E 
Continue with E until "laughed at him"

(bang on E)                   (bang on E)
           And the hammer fell           on the wooden nail
(bang on E)                                
           Through his flesh into the tree
         A             B7
As they laughed at him
       E             Esus4 A
As he cried for them
                  B7
And there he hung
     E            Esus4 A
The faultless one


(Chorus)
               B7       E        Esus4 A
Now didn't he live, oh didn't he
               B7       E        Esus4 A
And didn't he give, oh didn't he
               B7      E         Esus4 A B7 E Esus4 E
But didn't he die for you and me

                      Esus4 E
Spilled his precious blood
              Esus4 E
Sacrifice of love
                              
We didn't take his life from him
            A        B7       
He gave it willingly
             E       Esus4 A
Fulfill the prophecy
                      B7 
What's black is white
         E              Esus4 A
And this wrong is right

(Chorus)
                  Esus4 E
Bugler, blow your horn
                  Esus4 E
Now the curtain's torn
                  Esus4
And the battle's done I know
           A              B7     
I know the victory's come
            E              Esus4 A  
Drummer you drum your drum
                        B7 E
He broke death's chains
                 Esus4 A
The Lamb is slain

(Chorus)

(Final Chorus)
                B7               E          Esus4 A
Now doesn't he live, my brother, doesn't he
                B7                 E          Esus4 A
Now doesn't he give, sweet sister, doesn't he
              B7       E         Esus4 A
But didn't he die for you and me
              B7      NC
But didn't he die for you and for me
