Peter’s denial    (video)

 

Maid by the fire :

G                    G7                              - C       Cm

    I think I've seen you somewhere,       I remember,

                      G                           C                                        G

    you were with that man they took away, I recognise your face !

 

Peter :

                             G7                       - C            Cm

    You've got the wrong man, lady,       I don't know him,

                G                        C                                         G

    and I wasn't where he was tonight, never near the place !

 

Soldier :

                                 F        C                     G

    That's strange for I am sure I saw you with him,

                    F                 C            F               G

    you were right by his side and yet you denied.

 

Peter :

                   F         C                G

    I tell you, I was never ever with him !

 

Old man :

          F                 C       F                       G

    But I saw you, too, it looked just like you !

 

Peter :

      - - - - - - - - - - -

    I don't know him !

 

Mary Magdalene :

    Gm                       Bb                           Eb

    Peter, don't you know what you have said ?

                                  Bb

    You've gone and cut him dead.

 

Peter :

Gm           Bb                    Eb

    I had to do it don't you see ?

                             Bb

    Or else they'd go for me.

 

Mary Magdalene :

Gm                 Bb                         Eb

    It's what he told us you would do,

                      Bb

    I wonder how he knew !
