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
