Shawn Colvin - American jerusalem

^EmNew York City rain Don't know if it's making me ^Bmdirty or clean Went for the subway, but there ^Cwas no train And the tunnel was ^Ggrumbling for repairs a^Dgain And the ^Csign says '^EmWelcome to A^Gmeri^Dcan Je^Grusalem' ^{D Em}

^EmI've been around You could spend forever making a ^Bmfriend in this town All you get to do is ^Clay your dollar down Until you're stumbling ^Gdrunk up the stairs a^Dgain And the ^Csign says '^EmWelcome to A^Gmeri^Dcan Je^Grusalem'

In the ^Dtemples of A^Cmerican Je^Grusalem They buy an ^Dounce of South A^Amfrican ^Ggold They don't ^Dcare who was bought or ^Emsold Or who ^Cdied to ^Dmine it ^{Em D/F#} In the ^Dtemples of A^Cmerican Je^Grusalem They buy an ^Dounce of Mar^Amseille ^Gwhite And some^Dwhere on a street with no ^Emlight Somebody ^Cdies ^Dtrying it ^{Em D/F#}

^EmSomewhere in the crowd Looking that kinda way that'll ^Bmmake you turn around There'll be somebody who kno^Cws what it's about And he'll take the ^Gribbons from your hair a^Dgain And ^Cwelcome you^Em to A^Gmeri^Dcan Je^Grusalem

In the ^Dalleys of A^Cmerican Je^Grusalem The ^Dhomeless lie ^Amdown at the ^Gdawn The pretty ^Dpeople wonder what they're ^Emon And ^Chow they af^Dford it ^{Em D/F#} And in the ^Dashes of A^Cmerican Je^Grusalem The ^Dprophets live their ^Amdeaths out on the ^Gcorner The pretty ^Dpeople say there should've been a ^Emwarning But ^Cnobody ^Dheard it ^{Em D/F#}

^EmThen shadows lick the sun The streets are paved with ^Bmfootsteps on the run Somebody musta got double, 'cause ^CI got none I forgot to col^Glect my share a^Dgain So go ^Cwest to ^Gbreathe the cleansing ^Dair again Go Ni^Cagara fo^Gr your honey^Dmoon again Go on the ^Croad if you're ^Ggonna sing your ^Dtune again Go out to ^Csea and ^Glearn to be a ^Dman again Until you ^Ccome on ^Emhome to A^Gmeri^Dcan Je^Grusalem
