[first verse]
D
There's something in my eye
               Am              D
Well, there's something in my throat
     D    Am   C             G           D
Oh, maybe I'm not the man I used to be before
D
Although I'm feeling strong
         Am         D
It's the bed where I belong
D         Am        C           G
Oh dancing days are over so I'm sipping on
C            G               D
Sipping on a toddy made with love
G                D
And who is she, dangling on my knee
C                            D
The core that is my apple or the cruel banshee
G           D
Who am I to say or criticize
C                            A
To Devil gave me warning so I choose to live a life
[pre-chorus]
      D                A
Well, perhaps I should go
   G                  D
To where the trumpets roar
    G                 A      D
And wait to hear the guns of Jericho

[second verse]
D
I grew up in the East
      Am              D
And I threw up in the West
     D       Am
Oh, rant and raved
     C        G            D
And thinking Jesus this is great
D
King of my domain
               Am          D
Well, there's nothing in a name
Continues after the ad
         D     Am      C            G
And it wasn't long before I grew to realize
C           G                 D
Realize the fact we're all the same
G                 D
And though I bite seldom do I fight
C                                D
I'll tell you all about it in my own good time
G                 D
From my home I'll hang a scarlet rope
    C                                   A
So tell me that you'll leave me and my family alone
[pre-chorus]
        D              A
Well, perhaps I should go
   G                  D
To where the trumpets roar
     G               A       D
And wait to hear the guns of Jericho


        A
In Jericho
          G                 D
Where the walls are set to fall
        A
In Jericho
       G            D
At the hands of Joshua
    A
So blow your horn, your siren call
   G            D
My seven days reclaim
        G               A        D
And I'm buried with the guns of Jericho

D Am C G

[Third Verse]
D
Travel all the while
          Am               D
With the shipmates and the wife
     D    Am      C               G                D
Oh, guaranteed to see the sunrise break before the dawn

So, welcome all aboard
        Am         D
To this madness I adore
       D        Am      C              G
And as long as we're together for the better
      C               G              D
Now together for the better one and all

     G             D
And though I bite seldom do I fight
      C                          D
I'll tell you all about it in my own good time


[pre-chorus]
        D              A
Well, perhaps I should go
   G                  D
To where the trumpets roar
     G               A       D
And wait to hear the guns of Jericho


        A
In Jericho
          G                 D
Where the walls are set to fall
        A
In Jericho
       G            D
At the hands of Joshua
    A
So blow your horn, your siren call
   G            D
My seven days reclaim
        G               A        D
And I'm buried with the guns of Jericho

   [outro]
         A
Of Jericho
             G         D
I said the guns of Jericho
         A
Of Jericho
             G         D
I said the guns of Jericho
