Em C G D 

[Verse 1]
          Em
Now, the ancient days, we will return with no delay
C
Pickin' up the bounty and the spoils on our way
G
We've been travelin' a-from state to state
         D
And them don't understand what they say
Em
3,000 years with no place to be
      C
Them 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]
  Em
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
C
 Fire not gon' come from me tongue.
  G
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
D
Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do
  Em
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
C
 Fire not gon' come from me tongue.
  G
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
D
Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do


[Verse 2]
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 past 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 gon' come from me tongue.
  G
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
D
Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do
 Em
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
C
 Fire not gon' come from me tongue.
  G
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
D
Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do

[Verse 3]
             Em
Said they're caught up in the ways, and the world's gone craze
           G
Them don't know it's just a phase, case of the Simon says
   Bm
If I forget the truth, a word won't penetrate
                       F#m
Babylon burnin' 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 okay,
  F#m
Okay, not no way

[Bridge]
Em
   Ain't no one gonna break my stride
C                             G
   Ain't no one gonna pull me down
         D
Oh no, I got to keep on movin'
Em
   Ain't no one a-gonna break my stride
C                                G
   Ain't no one a-gonna pull me down
         D
Oh no, I got to keep on movin', say

[Chorus]
 Em
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
C
 Fire not gon' come from me tongue.
  G
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
D
Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do
 Em
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
C
 Fire not gon' 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
