          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.

Jerusalem, if I forget you,

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

 Fire not gon' come from me tongue.

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]
