Jericho chords by Deborah Davies

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Em9 D11 x2

Verse:
Em9                              D11
Crawling through the desert of my own desire
      Em9                               D11
The habitual path of this nomadic wanderer
Em9                           D11
Every spot of land that catches this covetous eye
         Em9                                D11
Becomes another stop on this long and dusty road

Pre-chorus:
     Em7      G       Em/C
So I build my kingdom here
          Em7                     G             Em/C
Where the walls are steep and the watch towers high
    Em7  G         Em/C
The prisoner of my own defenses
         A                                Cadd9
Hoarding treasure that will perish to the end

Chorus:
        Em       G         D       A
My Jericho, Jericho lies beneath me
              Em                 G                   D     A
That trumpet sound and my life crashed and hit the ground
             Em                G            D     A
Don't be surprised to find me lying in the ruins
                         Cadd9                                          D
Yeah, I'm battered and bruised but now there's nothing left for me to lose

I can find my way home

Em9 D11 x2

Verse:
Em9                           D11
Days and years go by without a hint of resistance
         Em9                                   D11
From the fast-flowing tide of my own impending fate
Em9                      D11
Then I see your face on a far distant horizon
        Em9                                D11
And my heart awakes to the captive I've become

Pre-Chorus:
     Em7      G       Em/C
So I wave my flag in surrender.
          Em7                     G             Em/C
With my own bear hands demolish what I'd made.
    Em7  G         Em/C
I could not see that despite my best efforts,
         A                                Cadd9
I needed help from heaven's mighty cavalry.

Chorus:
        Em       G         D       A
My Jericho, Jericho lies beneath me
              Em                 G                   D     A
That trumpet sound and my life crashed and hit the ground
             Em                G            D     A
Don't be surprised to find me lying in the ruins
                         Cadd9                                          D
Yeah, I'm battered and bruised but now there's nothing left for me to lose

I can find my way home

Bridge:
        Cadd9              G                D
Send my walls tum-tumbling tum-tumble-tumbling down x3
  Am7   G  D
Restore my soul

Chorus:
        Em       G         D       A
My Jericho, Jericho lies beneath me
              Em                 G                   D     A
That trumpet sound and my life crashed and hit the ground
             Em                G            D     A
Don't be surprised to find me lying in the ruins
                         Cadd9                                          D
Yeah, I'm battered and bruised but now there's nothing left for me to lose

I can find my way home

Cadd9 D Em
