Jerusalem Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][G]
[A][G]
[A][G]

[Verse 1]
[A]Where the mothers
of sonsnever cease their weeping
Where [G]the fathers of faith in
[A]the ground lie sleeping
Where [G]the seeds of time have
a whirlwind reaping
Oh
[A]Jerusalem is.
Where the cobblestone[G]s
Wet with [A]the blood of ages

[Verse 2]
Hear the echo of [G]wheels turning
[Bm]hist'ry's pages -
Where the cries of fools
[A]stilled the words of sages

[Verse 3]
[A]Oh
Jerusalem is.

[Verse 4]
'Neath an [G]olive tree branch
any[F#]one can listen
To the song of songs [Bm]as the
green leaves glisten.
[A]Then a summer rain [G]falls
and the raindrops christen
What [F#]Jerusalem is.
[A]And the river runs on [G]and
the world keeps turning

[Verse 5]
And [A]the water's cold
Tho the sands are burning

[Verse 6]
And the [A]mountains [G]know while
we still are learning
What [A]Jerusalem is.

[Verse 7]
[G]Oh
When will tomorrow's sons
Tomorrow's daughters
[A]Never taste of the bread [G]cast
upon the [Bm]waters

[Verse 8]
And put down [Bm]the s[A]word that
performed the slaughter[G]s
Where Jerusalem is ?

[Verse 9]
Where the cobblestones Wet [G]with

[Verse 10]
the blood of ages
[F#]Hear the echo of wheels [Bm]turning
[A]hist'ry's pages -
[G]Where the cries of fools stilled

[Verse 11]
the words of sages
[F#]Oh
[Bm]Jerusalem is.

[Verse 12]
And the river Oh
[Bm]
The river [A]runs and the
world [G]keeps turning
And the [F#]wa ter's cold
[A]Tho the sands are burning

[Verse 13]
[G]And the mountains kno[A]w
while we [G]still are learning
[A]What Jerusalem is.
And the river
Oh
[G]The river runs and the world [A]keeps [G]turning.
