[Intro]
Em C G D x2
In the Emancient days we will return with no delay
CPicking up the bounty and the spoils on our way
GWe've been traveling from state to state
And them Ddon't understand what they say
Em3 years with no place to be
And they Cwant me to give up my milk and honey
Don't you Gsee it's not about the land or the sea
Not the Dcountry but the dwelling of his majesty
[Chorus]
JEmerusalem if I forget you
CFire not gonna come from me tongue
JeGrusalem if I forget you
DLet my right hand forget what it's supposed to do
EmRebuild the temple and the crown of glory
CYears gone by about sixty
We were Gburned in the oven in this century
And the Dgas tried to choke but it couldn't choke me
I will Emnot lie down I will not fall asleep
So they Ccome overseas yes they're trying to be free
EGrase the demons out of our memory
CDhange your name and your identity
AfEmraid of the truth and our dark history
CWhy is everybody always chasing we
GCut off the roots of your family tree
DDon't you know that's not the way to be
[Chorus]
EmCaught up in these ways and the worlds gone craze
GDon't you know it's just a phase cause of the Simon says
If BmI forget the truth then my words won't penetrate
Babylon F#mburning in the place can't see through the haze
EmChop down all of them dirty ways
That's the Gprice that you pay for selling lies to the youth
No Bmway not ok oh
No F#mway not ok hey
EmAint no one gonna break my stride
CAint no one gonna pull me Gdown x
Oh no I gDot to keep on moving
[Chorus]
JeEmrusalem If CI forget You
JeGrusalem If DI forget You
JeEmrusalem If CI forget You
JeGrusalem If DI forget You
