Jerusalem by Matisyahu
Jerusalem
Capo: 1st fret
[Intro] Em C G D x2
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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
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
[Verse]
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
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
[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
Em C G D
