Jerusalem

C                                 
I woke up this mornin' and none of
              F
 the news was good
    C                          
And death machines were rollin' 
             D
'cross the ground where Jesus stood
        C                          
And the man on my TV told me that 
             F
it had always been that way
              C          F        
And there was nothin' anyone could
       C
 do or say

[Pre-Chorus]

              Am
And I almost listened to him
         F             C
Yeah, I almost lost my mind
                   Am
Then I regained my senses again
           D
And looked into my heart to find

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

     C                          
Well maybe I'm only dreamin' and 
  F
maybe I'm just a fool
      C                            
But I don't remember learnin' how 
  D
to hate in Sunday school
         C                   
But somewhere along the way I 
               F
strayed and I never looked back 
again
    C                 F           
But I still find some comfort now 
    C
and then

[Pre-Chorus]

                     Am
Then the storms comes rumblin' in
      F            C
And I cannot lay me down
                  Am
And the drums are drummin' again
       D
And I cannot stand the sound

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

    C                              
And I believe that on that day all 
     F
the children of Abraham
         C                         
Will lay down their swords forever 
      Am
in Jerusalem

[Other]

    C                           
Lay down their swords forever in 
  G       C
Jerusalem
