Emmylou Harris Jersusalem Tomorrow written by David Olney
Bm
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
