INTRO: A minorAm DmDm A minorAm DmDm

   A minorAm
'Twas long ago near Jericho, where Joshua lit the spark
 DmDm
A augmentedA soldier from a holy war, lay dying in the dark
    A minorAm
And he heard the final trumpet through the sacred culling ground
  DmDm                         A minorAm
He heard a sound like thunder, as walls came tumbling down
 C majorC D MajorD    A minorAm
Jericho,  Jericho

   A minorAm
He'd prayed to find redemption, prayed for inner peace
  DmDm
He prayed upon the innocents, when searching for release
  A minorAm
He travelled far behind the lines, cut the sacred wire
DmDm                          A minorAm
Put his lips against the steel, like a symbol of his ire
      C majorC D MajorD    A minorAm
Jericho, Jericho,  Jericho


INSTRUMENTAL: A minorAm DmDm A minorAm DmDm


  A minorAm
The lifeline was his holy cross, the giver of sweet gifts
   DmDm                     A minorAm
Small mercies for the dying, on a final graveyard shift
 C majorC D MajorD    A minorAm
Jericho,  Jericho


There was a final consecration, a final calling card
 DmDm
A augmentedA lifetime's culmination, for the words that came so hard
  A minorAm
The blood was coursing through his veins, he knew the final score
DmDm
Sword lay in the scabbard and Death was at the door
A minorAm     C majorC D MajorD    A minorAm
Jericho, Jericho,  Jericho
