[Verse]
  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
 
[Pre-chorus]
              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                    Bm       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

Steve plays this capoed on the seventh fret, so chord structure changes to use G form. This makes it easy to play the C# and F# base notes.

lots of missing chords here...there's a G between the Bm and A in the verse and the pre chorus has a D after the first Bm then a G instead of A etc
