_ [A] _ _ I [D] _ woke up this morning _ and the news was [G] good.
_ [D] And bed machines [Bm] were rumbling across [G] the ground where Jesus [A] stood.
And the man on my [D] TV told me it had always been [G] that way.
And [D] there's nothing [A] anyone could do [D] but say.
_ _ And I [Bm] almost lost my mind.
[D] _ _ _ Yeah, I almost lost my mind and I [Bm] regained my senses again.
_ _ I [D] looked into my [A] heart to find.
And _ [D] _ I believe one fine day on the church of [G] Abraham, _ we [D] laid down this old [Bm] true love in [A] _ _ _
[D] Jerusalem. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Maybe I'm only dreaming. _ _
_ Maybe I'm just [G] a fool.
But [D] I don't remember [Bm] learning how [D] to eat in Sunday [A] school.
But [D] somewhere _ _ along the way I strayed.
And I never went back _ [G] again.
But [D] I still find [A] some comfort [D] now and then.
_ _ Then the [Bm] storm comes rumbling [D] in. _ _
And I can't lay me down and the [Bm] drums are drumming again.
_ [D] _ _
[E] And I can't [A] stand the sound.
_ [D] But I believe there'll come a day when the lamb, _ [G] _ _
we'll [D] lay down and [Bm] feast together [A] in _ _ Jerusalem.

_ [D] _ _ _ _ There'll be no [Bm] barricades then. _ _
There'll [G] be no wire or [A] walls and we can wash all [Bm] this blood from our hands.
[D] And all this [G] hatred from our souls. _
[D] And I believe that on that day on the church of _ [G] Abraham, we [D] laid down this old [Bm] true love in _ _ Jerusalem.
