[Verse 1]
Em Now, the ancient days, we will return with no delay C Pickin' up the bounty and the spoils on our way G We've been travelin' a-from state to state D And them don't understand what they say Em 3,000 years with no place to be C Them 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]
Em Jerusalem, if I forget you, C Fire not gon' come from me tongue. G Jerusalem, if I forget you, D Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do Em Jerusalem, if I forget you, C Fire not gon' come from me tongue. G Jerusalem, if I forget you, D Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do
[Verse 2]
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 past 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 Jerusalem, if I forget you, C Fire not gon' come from me tongue. G Jerusalem, if I forget you, D Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do Em Jerusalem, if I forget you, C Fire not gon' come from me tongue. G Jerusalem, if I forget you, D Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do
[Verse 3]
Em Said they're caught up in the ways, and the world's gone craze G Them don't know it's just a phase, case of the Simon says Bm If I forget the truth, a word won't penetrate F#m Babylon burnin' 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 okay, F#m Okay, not no way
[Bridge]
Em Ain't no one gonna break my stride C G Ain't no one gonna pull me down D Oh no, I got to keep on movin' Em Ain't no one a-gonna break my stride C G Ain't no one a-gonna pull me down D Oh no, I got to keep on movin', say
[Chorus]
Em Jerusalem, if I forget you, C Fire not gon' come from me tongue. G Jerusalem, if I forget you, D Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do Em Jerusalem, if I forget you, C Fire not gon' come from me tongue. G Jerusalem, if I forget you, D Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do
[Outro]
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
