         Em      Bm/D      Cmaj7 
4e   f#  g 3b 4e g f# d d 3b b g g   a   b
Down the Vía Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day,
    Em                Bm/D            Cmaj7
4f#  g  3b     e    e   f#   3b 4d  f# (g f#)e 
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow streets,
        Am                  Em/G 
4e   e    a     a     a   e  g 
But the crowd pressed in to see
    Bsus4/F#         B           Em  Bm/D Cmaj7 
 4g  f#  g   a     g  f# e  d# f# e 
The Man condemned to die on Calvary.

         Em            Bm/D                Cmaj7 
4e  f#  g 3b     4e  g f#  d      d    3b     b    g g   a   b
He was bleeding from a beating, there were stripes upon His back,
       Em               Bm/D           Cmaj7
4e  f#  g  3b   e    g   f#  3b 4d f# (g f#)e 
And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head.
       Am              Em
4e   e  a    a   a   e   g 
And He bore with every step
    Bsus4               B                Esus4
 4g  f#   g    a    g  f#     e   d# f#   e 
The scorn of those who cried out for His death.


[Ref.Chorus]
E          Am      Bsus4 B          Em          E7
4a    b 5c 4e a 5c 4b a  g    f#   g  f#  g  a b  
Down the Vía Dolorosa, called the way of suffering,
       Am/C             Bsus4  B         Em 
 4a  b 5c   4e    a  5c 4b a     g     a  b     
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King.
E      Am                 Bsus4    B7     Em       Bm/D   Cmaj7 
4a  b   5c    d  c    4b   a   g   f#  a   g    b   f#  b   e 
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me.
          Em     Bm/D        Cmaj B         Em  1.[Bm/D Cmaj7]  2.[Em] 
4e   f# g 3b 4e g f# d d  f# (g f#)e e d# e e     [ e  f# g -]    [e ] 
Down the Vía Dolorosa all the way   to Calvary.   [Por la Vi-]    [rir]
