Man in the Middle

Verse 1

F Am Bb F
There was a mountain and there were three trees
Gm F G C
There was a good man and there were two thieves
  F Am Bb F
A man called Ba - rabas was doomed for the tree
  Gm F Gm C F
But Jesus took the middle one and Ba - ra - bas went free

Chorus

F C Bb/C F Bb C
I love that cause I know he first loved me  
F Am Bb F
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary
  Gm F Dm Gm C F
The middle man made it possi - ble that I might go free

Verse 2

  F Am Bb F
A hill called Gol - gotha the place of a skull
  Gm F G C
No yellow flowers, no trees in bloom the scenery was so dull
  F Am Bb F
Three crosses stood black and bold a - gainst a darkened sky
  Gm F Dm Gm C F
And not from pain but a broken heart that mid - dle man died
