Jersusalem Tomorrow chords by Emmylou Harris

Tuning: EADGBE

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