I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was good
(D) (Bm) (G) (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) (A) (Dsus)(D)
And there was nothin' any- one could do or say
(D) (Bm) (D)
And I almost listened to him
(D) (G) (D)
Yeah, I almost lost my mind
(Bm) (D)
Then I regained my senses again
(G) (A)
And looked into my heart to find
(D) (G)
That I believe that one fine day all the children of Abra- ham
(D) (Bm) (A) (Dsus)(D)
Will lay down their swords for- ever in Jerusalem
(D) (G)
Well maybe I'm only dreamin' and maybe I'm just a fool
(D) (Bm) (G) (A)
But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school
(D) (G)
But some where along the way I strayed and I never looked back a- gain
(D) (A) (Dsus)(D)
But I still find some comfort now and then
(D) (Bm) (D)
Then the storm comes rumblin' in
(G) (D)
And I can't lay me down
(Bm) (D)
And the drums are drummin' again
(G) (A)
And I can't stand the sound
(D) (G)
But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb
(D) Bm) (A) (Dsus)(D)
Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem

2nd bar: (D) (G) (D) (Bm) (A) (Dsus) (D)…harmonica solo - same as intro
(D) (Bm) (D)
And there'll be no barricades then
(G) (D)
There'll be no wire or walls
(Bm) (D)
And we can wash all this blood from our hands
(G) (A)
And all this hatred from our souls
(D) (G)
And I believe that on that day all the children of Abra- ham
(D) (Bm) (A) (D)
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
