I am the Man, Thomas

I am the Man

Look at these nail scars
D          G
Here in my hand

They drove me up the hill, Thomas

I am the Man

They made me carry the cross, Thomas
D        G
I am the Man

I am the Man, Thomas
I am the Man
Look at these nail scars
Here in my hand

They crowned my head with thorns, Thomas
I am the Man
They nailed me to the cross, Thomas
I am the Man

I am the Man, Thomas
I am the Man
Look at these nail scars
Here in my hand
