Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][A]
[D][G][Bm]

[Verse 1]
I made [G]my
way to the western wall,
As the [Em]sun went down,
I could hear them call for [Bm]you[A]
And the word[G]s I heard in the
ancient song
[Em]Were the same as the ones
I've sung so long [Bm]to you[A]
[G]And when I touched the wal[Em]l, the veil,
it never felt so [Bm]thin[A]
Cause [G]you are the Rock and the
Cornerstone,
[Em]You are the temple of flesh and bone
And [Bm]you are the door and the
[A]way back home [G]again

[Verse 2]
To that [D]city that we long for,
that we feel [G]so far [A]away
[D]Where the dawn will drive
away [G]our tears[A]
And [Bm]we'll meet in the New
Jeru[A]salem [G]someday
Maybe next [D]year[G]
[A]Maybe [D]next [G]year[A]

[Verse 3]
At the west[G]ern wall I bowed my head,
I [Em]knew that every word I read was [Bm]true[A]
As the [G]prophet spoke from another age,
[Em]And the song rose up from the
sacred page [Bm]to You[A]
[G]And I never felt so near,
[Em]I never felt so far away[Bm][A]
But [G]You tore the curtain and shook the
Ground, the saint[Em]s woke
up and they walked around
[Bm]And resurrection c[A]ame to town [G]that day

[Verse 4]
Like in that [D]city that we long for,
that we feel [G]so far [A]away
[D]Where the dawn will drive away
[G]our tears[A]
[Bm]And we'll meet in the New
Jeru[A]salem [G]someday

[Interlude 1]
Maybe next year
[D][G][A][D][G]
[A][G][Em][Bm][A]

[Verse 5]
[G]This is the place where Abraham cut
[Em]Lose the boy and he killed
the ram [G]instead[Bm][A]
[G]And this is the place where Jesus said,
You could tear [Em]down the temple
and he'd raise it from the [Bm]dead[A]
[G]You never felt so real,
[Em]I never felt so close to Y[Bm]ou[A]
So I'll [G]weep and dance
at the western wall
[Em]And sing of the way you're making
all things [Bm]new
Cause the king[A]dom's here,
[G]but I know the kingdom[Em]'s moving in[Bm][A]

[Verse 6]
[G]So maybe I'll meet you here next yea[Em]r
In the New Jerusalem,
in the New [G]Jerusalem...

[Verse 7]
In that [D]city that we long for,
that we feel [G]so far [A]away
Where [D]the dawn will drive
away [G]our tears[A]
And we'll meet [Bm]in the New
Jer[A]usalem [G]someday
[Em]Maybe next [D]year[G]
[A]Maybe next [D]year
[G]Next year in the New[A] Jerusale[Bm]m[A][D]
[G]Next year in the New[Em] Jerusalem

[Verse 8]
[D]Next year, next year
[G]Next year in the New[A] Jerusalem
[D]Next year, next year
[G]Next year in [A]the New Jerusalem
[Bm]Next[A] year, next year

[Outro 1]
