Joan Baez – Jerusalem (Guitar)

C                                               F
I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was good

    C                                       D
And death machines were rollin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stood

        C                                       F
And the man on my TV told me that it had always been that way

              C          F               C
And there was nothin' anyone could do or say

              Am
And I almost listened to him

         F             C
Yeah, I almost lost my mind

                   Am
Then I regained my senses again

           D
And looked into my heart to find

     C                                   F
That I believe that one fine day all the children of Abraham

         C                               G     C
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem

     C                            F
Well maybe I'm only dreamin' and maybe I'm just a fool

      C                              D
But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school

         C                                  F
But somewhere along the way I strayed and I never looked back again

    C                 F               C
But I still find some comfort now and then

                     Am
Then the storms comes rumblin' in

      F            C
And I cannot lay me down

                  Am
And the drums are drummin' again

       D
And I cannot stand the sound

    C                                     F
But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb

         C                            G     C
Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem

                   Am
And there'll be no barricades then

         C
There'll be no wire or walls

                         Am
And we can wash all this blood from our hands

             D
And all this hatred from our souls

    C                                   F
And I believe that on that day all the children of Abraham

         C                               Am
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem

    C                             G       C
Lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
