Jerusalem

D
D G D Bm G A

D
I woke up this morning
G
and none of the news was good
D Bm
And death machines were rumbling across
G A
the ground where Jesus stood
D
And the man on my TV told me
G
that it had always been that way
D Bm A D
And there was nothing anyone could do or say

Bm D
And I almost listened to him
G D
Yeah, I almost lost my mind
Bm D
Then I regained the senses again
G A
And looked into my heart to find

D
That I believe that one fine day
G
all the children of Abraham
D Bm A D
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem

D
And I'm only dreaming
G
maybe I'm just a fool
D Bm
But I don't remember learning
G A
how to hate in Sunday school

D
But somewhere along the way I strayed
G
and I never looked back again
D Bm A D
But I still find some comfort now and then

Bm D
Then the storm comes rumbling in
G D
And I can't lay me down
Bm D
And the drums are drumming again
G A
And I can't stand the sound

D
But I believe there'll come a day
G
when the lion and the lamb
D Bm A D
Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem


D
D G D Bm A D

Bm D
And there'll be no barricades then
G D
There'll be no wire or walls
Bm D
And we can wash all this blood from our hands
G A
And all this hatred from our souls

D
But I believe that on that day
G
all the children of Abraham
D Bm A D \
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
