Em

Verse 1:
       Em
I am a robin
      C         G
Robin redbreast
        Am         D7             Em
Day and night I do fly over David City
         Em
I saw my savior
      C               G
Oh, I heard when he said
    Am           D         Em
'My God, why has Thou forsaken Me '

    Em          C
On Calvary, on Calvary
          G                             D11
I sang a mournful song tenderly and sweet
    Em7         C
On Calvary, on Calvary
            G               D11             Em7
My Savior's words no little bird could ever sing

Verse 2:
         Em7
I am the first blush
    C        G
Of a red rose
      C               D         Em
And I bloom along the walls of David City
            Em
They cut my thorns down
      C         G
For to fashion a crown
      C                 D7                 Em
Wind around, pierce his brow, and make him bleed



    Em          C
On Calvary, on Calvary
            G                           D11
This little rose was made to do a wicked deed
    Em7         C
On Calvary, on Calvary
            G                D11         Em7
More cruel a crown was never worn by any king

Verse 3:
       Em7
I bear red apples
      C            G
I am an apple tree
      C              D7         Em
And I grow above the hills of David City
            Em
They cut my branches off
        C         G
For to fashion a cross
     C                D7                   Em
And upon my arms they nailed his hands and feet



    Em7         C
On Calvary, on Calvary
         G                     D11
Fruit of all our sin hangin' in the breeze
    Em7         C
On Calvary, on Calvary
          G                D11         Em7
He bore a burden more than that of any tree
    Em7         C
On Calvary, on Calvary
         G                           D11
All of creation groaned in begging for release
    Em7         C
On Calvary, on Calvary
            G              D11            Em C D7
The son of God was hung to set the sinner free
