Artist: Steve Earle Song: Jerusalem Album: Live at Montreux 2005 Capo: VII [Chords] D7/F#: 20021x [Intro] Em G C/G G Em G C/G D7/F# G G G C/G G Em D7/F# [Verse]
G                                               C/G
I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was good 

G                   Em                  C/G                D7/F#
Death machines were rumblin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stood 

        G                                              C/G
And the man on my TV told me that its always been that way 

        G          D7/F#          G
There's nothin' anyone can do or say
[Bridge]
             Em              
And I almost listened to him 

G        C/G            G
 Yeah, I almost lost my mind 

              Em           
I regained my senses again 

G             C/G            D7/F#
 And looked into my heart to find
[Chorus]
    G                                                   C/G
And I believe that one fine day all the children of Abraham 

         G                    Em       D7/F# G
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
[Verse]
G                                                 C/G
Well maybe I'm only dreamin' and maybe I'm just a fool 

      G              Em              C/G            D7/F#
But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school 

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

      G                 D7/F#         G
But I still find some comfort now and then
[Bridge]
                     Em           
Then the storm comes rumblin' in 

G      C/G           G
 And I can't lay me down 

                  Em             
And the drums are drummin' again 

G      C/G               D7/F#
 And I can't stand the sound
[Chorus]
    G                                                   C/G
But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb 

         G               Em        D7/F#  G
Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem
[Instrumental] Em G C/G G Em G C/G D7/F# G G G C/G G Em D7/F# G [Bridge]
                   Em         
And there'll be no barricades then 

G              C/G           G
 Yeah there'll be no wire or walls 

                     Em                   
We can wash all this blood from our hands 

G             C/G             D7/F#
 And all this hatred from our souls
[Chorus]
    G                                                     C/G
And I believe there'll come a day all the children of Abraham 

         G                    Em      D7/F# G
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
