Jerusalem chords by Matisyahu

• Capo on 1st

Em C G D x2

    Em
In the ancient days, we will return with no delay

 C
Picking up the bounty and the spoils on our way

 G
We've been traveling from state to state

     D
And them don't understand what they say

 Em
3,000 years with no place to be

     C
And they want me to give up my milk and honey

      G
Don't you see, it's not about the land or the sea

     D
Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty


Chorus: x2
 Em
Jerusalem, if I forget you,

 C
 Fire not gonna come from me tongue.

  G
Jerusalem, if I forget you,

 D
Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do


 Em
Rebuild the temple and the crown of glory

 C
Years gone by, about sixty

     G
We were burned in the oven in this century

     D
And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me

    Em
I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep

     C
So they come overseas, yes they're trying to be free

 G
Erase the demons out of our memory

 D
Change your name and your identity

  Em
Afraid of the truth and our dark history

 C
Why is everybody always chasing we

 G
Cut off the roots of your family tree

 D
Don't you know that's not the way to be


Chorus

 Em
Caught up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze

 G
Don't you know it's just a phase, cause of the Simon says

  Bm
If I forget the truth then my words won't penetrate

     F#m
Babylon burning in the place, can't see through the haze

 Em
Chop down all of them dirty ways,

      G
That's the price that you pay for selling lies to the youth

  Bm
No way, not ok, oh

  F#m
No way, not ok, hey



 Em
Aint no one gonna break my stride

 C              G
Aint no one gonna pull me down    x2

     D
Oh no, I got to keep on moving


Chorus x2

  Em      C
Jerusalem If I forget You

  G      D
Jerusalem If I forget You

  Em      C
Jerusalem If I forget You

  G      D
Jerusalem If I forget You


Em C G D
