Jersusalem Tomorrow chords by Emmylou Harris

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: EADGBE

Intro:
B minorBm
Man you should have seen me way back
E minorEm
then
B minorBm
I could tell a tale
        F#7F#7
I could make it spin
E minorEm
I could tell you black was white
    B minorBm
I could tell you day was night
                F#7F#7
Not only that I could tell you why
                B minorBm
Back then I could really tell a lie
B minorBm                E minorEm
Well I'd hire a kid to say he was lame
     B minorBm              F#7F#7
Then I'd touch him and make him walk again
E minorEm               B minorBm
Then I'd pull some magic trick I'd pretend to heal the sick
                  F#7F#7
I was takin' everything they had to give
                B minorBm
It wasn't all that bad a way to live
B minorBm                      E minorEm
Well I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell
  B minorBm              F#7F#7
But no one's buyin' what I got to sell
E minorEm           B minorBm
I make my lame kid walk I make a dumb guy talk
                    F#7F#7
I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day
                 B minorBm
But everyone just turns and walks away
B minorBm                  E minorEm
Well I can see that I'm only wasting time
   B minorBm                 F#7F#7
So I head across the road to drink some wine
   E minorEm
This old man comes up to me
       B minorBm
He says I've seen you on the street
                F#7F#7
You're pretty good if I do say myself
                              B minorBm
But the guy that come thru here last month he was somethin' else
B minorBm                  E minorEm
Instead of callin' out for fire from above
  B minorBm                  F#7F#7
He just gets real quiet and talks about love
     E minorEm
And I'll tell you somethin' funny
     B minorBm
He didn't want nobody's money
                    F#7F#7
Now I'm not exactly sure what this all means
                       B minorBm
But it's the damndest thing I swear I've ever seen
B minorBm                   E minorEm
Well since that time every town is the same
B minorBm
I can't make a dime,
          F#7F#7
I don't know why I came
E minorEm
I decide I'll go and find him
  B minorBm
And find out who's behind him
                    F#7F#7
He has everyone convinced that he's for real
                  B minorBm
Well I figure we can work us out a deal
B minorBm               E minorEm
So he offers me a job and I say fine
  B minorBm                 F#7F#7
He says I'll get paid off on down the line
    E minorEm
Well I guess I'll string along
       B minorBm
Don't see how too much can go wrong
                    F#7F#7
As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow
                B minorBm
We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow
