Jersusalem Tomorrow Chords & Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

[INTRO]
[Bm]Man you should have seen me way back
[Em]then
[Bm]I could tell a tale
I could make it[F#7] spin
[Em]I could tell you black was white
I could [Bm]tell you day was night
Not only that I could tell you [F#7]why
Back then I could really tell a [Bm]lie
[Bm]Well I'd hire a kid to say he was [Em]lame
Then I'd [Bm]touch him and make him walk a[F#7]gain
[Em]Then I'd pull some magic trick [Bm]I'd pretend to heal the sick
I was takin' everything they had to [F#7]give
It wasn't all that bad a way to [Bm]live
[Bm]Well I'm in this desert town and it's hot as [Em]hell
But [Bm]no one's buyin' what I got to [F#7]sell
[Em]I make my lame kid walk [Bm]I make a dumb guy talk
I'm preachin' up a storm both night and [F#7]day
But everyone just turns and walks [Bm]away
[Bm]Well I can see that I'm only wasting [Em]time
So I [Bm]head across the road to drink some [F#7]wine
This [Em]old man comes up to me
He says I've [Bm]seen you on the street
You're pretty good if I do say m[F#7]yself
But the guy that come thru here last month he was somethin' [Bm]else
[Bm]Instead of callin' out for fire from [Em]above
He [Bm]just gets real quiet and talks about [F#7]love
And I'll [Em]tell you somethin' funny
He didn't [Bm]want nobody's money
Now I'm not exactly sure what this all [F#7]means
But it's the damndest thing I swear I've ever [Bm]seen
[Bm]Well since that time every town is the s[Em]ame
[Bm]I can't make a dime,
I don't know why I [F#7]came
[Em]I decide I'll go and find him
And [Bm]find out who's behind him
He has everyone convinced that he's for [F#7]real
Well I figure we can work us out a [Bm]deal
[Bm]So he offers me a job and I say [Em]fine
He [Bm]says I'll get paid off on down the [F#7]line
Well I [Em]guess I'll string along
Don't see how [Bm]too much can go wrong
As long as he pays my way I guess I'll [F#7]follow
We're headed for Jerusalem tomo[Bm]rrow
