Em C G D x2

       EmIn (022000@1)the ancient days, we will return with no delay
CPicking (x32010@1)up the bounty and the spoils on our way
GWe've (320003@1)been traveling from state to state
         DAnd (xx0232@1)them don't understand what they say
Em3,000 (022000@1)years with no place to be
         CAnd (x32010@1)they want me to give up my milk and honey
          GDon't (320003@1)you see, it's not about the land or the sea
        DNot (xx0232@1)the country but the dwelling of his majesty

Chorus: x2
 EmJerusalem, (022000@1)if I forget you,
C (x32010@1)Fire not gonna come from me tongue.
  GJerusalem, (320003@1)if I forget you,
DLet (xx0232@1)my right hand forget what it's supposed to do

EmRebuild (022000@1)the temple and the crown of glory
CYears (x32010@1)gone by, about sixty
        GWe (320003@1)were burned in the oven in this century
        DAnd (xx0232@1)the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me
       EmI (022000@1)will not lie down, I will not fall asleep
        C (x32010@1)
So they come overseas, yes they're trying to be free
 GErase (320003@1)the demons out of our memory
 DChange (xx0232@1)your name and your identity
  EmAfraid (022000@1)of the truth and our dark history
CWhy (x32010@1)is everybody always chasing we
GCut (320003@1)off the roots of your family tree
DDon't (xx0232@1)you know that's not the way to be

Chorus

EmCaught (022000@1)up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze
GDon't (320003@1)you know it's just a phase, cause of the Simon says
   BmIf (x24432@1)I forget the truth then my words won't penetrate
        F#mBabylon (244222@1)burning in the place, can't see through the haze
EmChop (022000@1)down all of them dirty ways,
           GThat's (320003@1)the price that you pay for selling lies to the youth
   BmNo (x24432@1)way, not ok, oh 
   F#mNo (244222@1)way, not ok, hey


EmAint (022000@1)no one gonna break my stride
