Matisyahu – Jerusalem (Ukulele)

       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

 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

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

  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
