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 Same as Intro 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

Asus4      Gsus2 
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
