D G
I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was good
D Bm A
And death machines were rumblin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stood
D G
And the man on my TV told me that it had always been that way
D Bm A
And there was nothin' anyone could do or say
Prechorus:
Bm
And I almost listened to him
A
Yeah, I almost lost my mind
Bm
Then I regained my senses again
A
And looked into my heart to find
Chorus
D G
That I believe that one fine day all the children of Abraham
D (G) A D
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
Well maybe I'm only dreamin' and maybe I'm just a fool
But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school
But somewhere along the way I strayed and I never looked back again
But I still find some comfort now and then
Then the storm comes rumblin' in
And I can't lay me down
And the drums are drummin' again
And I can't stand the sound
But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb
Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem
And there'll be no barricades then
There'll be no wire or walls
And we can wash all this blood from our hands
And all this hatred from our souls
And I believe that on that day all the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
*This (G) is optional; it sounds right with or without it, and I can't tell which way Steve plays it.
