Capo 1



Em C G D x2



       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



Chorus: x2

 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



Chorus



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



Chorus x2



  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



Em C G D
