[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm]
[Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
INTRO: [Dm]All rise.
Case number seven- seven-
seven- five- [Am]two.
Defendant KJ- 52 verses [Dm]the Son
of God in murder one.
How do you plead?
Guilty as charged.
Do you promise to tell the [Am]truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth?
[Dm]I do.

[Verse 2]
Then go ahead.
[Dm]VERSE 1:
I solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth now, so help me God.
[Am]What I testify and what I'm speaking of is an[Dm]
eye witness account of an experience of a kindof love,
I confess now to what it was.
I was guilty of mak[Bb]ing the very
Son of God now shed [Am]His blood, and
I was guilty of the reason now why He [Dm]was hung,
and
I'm guilty for every evil thing
not that I have done.
I'm guilty for it all, I can't
blame no one.
I'm filthy with what caused
the death of the Son.
[Am]It kills me to think I was
the one who shed His blood.
[Dm]I still think of the way He died
now and how it was.
[Am]It feels me with pain inside,
I feel like throwing up.
[Bb]I can't escape, I can't lie,
I didn't [Dm]make it up.
[Am]I was the one who took the
life of the Holy One.
[Dm]This is the first time I've confessed
now to [Am]what I've done.

[Verse 3]
CHORUS 1:
[Dm]I'm guilty, [Am]guilty.[Dm]
That's right, I'm [Am]guilty.[Dm]
God forgive me,
I'm [Am]guilty.[Dm]
You know what? I'm guilty!
VERSE 2: Yeah that's right, I did it.

[Verse 4]
Right out [Dm]in the open
for all to see it, and
I never hid it, I got to admit [Am]it.
They took the whip,
ripped His back wide open and split [Dm]it.
I heard Him cry every time
they pulled it back and hit [Am]it.
I wondered [Dm]why He was silent now,
I didn't get it.
I watched Him die while He cried
out "It is finished".
[Am]Thought nobody would find out about
the the crime I've committed.
[Dm]I tried to h[Bb]ide out, it's too late,
that's [Dm]right I did [Am]this.
It's [Dm]my time now,
my [Am]own eyes have been [Dm]a witness to my [Bb]crime.
Now I'm speechless and I'm
defense[Am]less.
Can anybody find out it's obvious
that this [Dm]is my final time.
Now I've [Am]finally come to my senses.
I'm a climb down and [Dm]take
whatever I'm sentenced.
I know [Bb]why t[Dm]here's no way
now [Am]that I could miss this.
I opened my eyes,
now I see Him just for who He is.
[Dm]This my guilt is mine now,

[Verse 5]
it's so obvious that...
[Am]CHORUS 2:
[Dm]I'm guilty.[F][Am][Dm]
God forgive me, [Am]I'm guilty![Dm]
I'm guilty.
That's right, [Am]I'm guilty.[Dm]
So help [Am]me.
VERSE 3: I'm just [Dm]an other person,

[Verse 6]
I'm just another [Dm]man.
I was the one that hurt Him, I
finally understand.
[Am]Now I know that for certain
I caused the nails to land,
[Dm]That left Him dead and murdered,
pierced in feet and hands.
[Am]So now you've he[Dm]ard it, I testified
and [Am]took the stand.
[Dm]No other way I[Bb] could word it, this
is my con[Dm]fession and,
[Am]I never lied or purgured, I told
just the best [Dm]I can but,
I was the one that cursed [Bb]Him,
I was the [Dm]trigger man.
[Am]The page is turning and I've now
just confessed to this.
[Dm]I didn't kill Christ,
but it was just my sin that did.
[Am]Now I've confessed to the crime,
I don't deserve to live,
[Dm]I'm ready to do my time. All
that I can say is...

[Verse 7]
CHORUS [Dm]3:
I'm guilty.
God forgive me, [Am]I'm guilty![Dm]
I don't deserve to live, I'm guilty!
Take me away, I'm [Am]guilty.[Dm]
I'm guilty!

[Verse 8]
