Chords with lyrics

[Verse]

C majorC                FF      C majorC
There's a story so unkind in the Holy book we find
                    G7G7
And it tells how Jesus stood alone one day
   C majorC                  FF          C majorC
False accused and there condemned yet they found no fault with Him
           G7G7       C majorC
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe


[Chorus]

C majorC                 FF        C majorC
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
                  G7G7
As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
     C majorC               FF            C majorC
And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
         G7G7       C majorC
His raiment was a scarlet purple robe

[Verse]

C majorC                 FF           C majorC
In the common judgment hall he was mocked and scorned by all
                  G7G7
And a tear of sorrow fell upon His cheek
     C majorC            FF          C majorC
Soldiers of the wicked man smote Him with their evil hand
           G7G7       C majorC
The Man who wore the scarlet purple robe


[Chorus]

C majorC                 FF        C majorC
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
                  G7G7
As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
     C majorC               FF            C majorC
And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
         G7G7       C majorC
His raiment was a scarlet purple robe


[Verse]

C majorC                 FF           C majorC
Words of truth that day were plain from the lips of Pilate came
                    G7G7
In this man I find no reason He should die
    C majorC           FF     C majorC
But the multitudes replied let Him now be crucified
           G7G7       C majorC
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe

[Chorus]

C majorC                 FF        C majorC
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
                  G7G7
As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
     C majorC               FF            C majorC
And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
         G7G7       C majorC
His raiment was a scarlet purple robe


[Outro]

C majorC           FF       C majorC
Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away
                 G7G7
And this mighty river I may never see
     C majorC             FF       C majorC
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
        G7G7        C majorC
