Jersusalem Tomorrow

• Em

Man you should have seen me way back  
Em 
then  
Bm 
I could tell a tale  
               F#7   
I could make it spin  
Em 
I could tell you black was white  
        Bm 
I could tell you day was night  
                               F#7 
Not only that I could tell you why  
                                Bm 
Back then I could really tell a lie  
Bm                                Em 
Well I'd hire a kid to say he was lame  
         Bm                           F#7 
Then I'd touch him and make him walk again  
Em                             Bm 
Then I'd pull some magic trick I'd pretend to heal the sick  
                                    F#7 
I was takin' everything they had to give  
                                Bm 
It wasn't all that bad a way to live  
Bm                                           Em 
Well I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell  
    Bm                            F#7 
But no one's buyin' what I got to sell  
Em                      Bm 
I make my lame kid walk I make a dumb guy talk  
                                        F#7 
I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day  
                                  Bm 
But everyone just turns and walks away  
Bm                                   Em 
Well I can see that I'm only wasting time  
     Bm                                 F#7 
So I head across the road to drink some wine  
     Em                            
This old man comes up to me  
             Bm 
He says I've seen you on the street  
                                F#7 
You're pretty good if I do say myself  
                                                            Bm 
But the guy that come thru here last month he was somethin' else  
Bm                                   Em 
Instead of callin' out for fire from above  
   Bm                                   F#7 
He just gets real quiet and talks about love  
         Em 
And I'll tell you somethin' funny  
          Bm 
He didn't want nobody's money  
                                       F#7 
Now I'm not exactly sure what this all means  
                                              Bm 
But it's the damndest thing I swear I've ever seen  


SOLO 


Bm                                      Em 
Well since that time every town is the same  
Bm 
I can't make a dime,  
                   F#7 
I don't know why I came  
Em 
I decide I'll go and find him  
    Bm 
And find out who's behind him  
                                        F#7 
He has everyone convinced that he's for real  
                                   Bm 
Well I figure we can work us out a deal  
Bm                              Em 
So he offers me a job and I say fine  
   Bm                                 F#7 
He says I'll get paid off on down the line  
       Em 
Well I guess I'll string along  
              Bm 
Don't see how too much can go wrong  
                                       F#7 
As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow  
                               Bm 
We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow
