Deborah Davies – Jericho chords

[Intro]
Em9 D11 x2

[Verse]
Em9                              D11Crawling through the desert of my own desire
      Em9                               D11The habitual path of this nomadic wanderer
Em9                           D11Every spot of land that catches this covetous eye
         Em9                                D11Becomes another stop on this long and dusty road

[Pre-chorus]
     Em7      G       Em/CSo I build my kingdom here
          Em7                     G             Em/CWhere the walls are steep and the watch towers high
    Em7  G         Em/CThe prisoner of my own defenses
         A                                Cadd9Hoarding treasure that will perish to the end

[Chorus]
        Em       G         D       AMy Jericho, Jericho lies beneath me
              Em                 G                   D     AThat trumpet sound and my life crashed and hit the ground
             Em                G            D     ADon't be surprised to find me lying in the ruins
                         Cadd9                                          DYeah, I'm battered and bruised but now there's nothing left for me to lose

I can find my way home

Em9 D11 x2

[Verse]
Em9                           D11Days and years go by without a hint of resistance
         Em9                                   D11From the fast-flowing tide of my own impending fate
Em9                      D11Then I see your face on a far distant horizon
        Em9                                D11And my heart awakes to the captive I've become

[Pre-Chorus]
     Em7      G       Em/CSo I wave my flag in surrender.
          Em7                     G             Em/CWith my own bear hands demolish what I'd made.
    Em7  G         Em/CI could not see that despite my best efforts,
         A                                Cadd9I needed help from heaven's mighty cavalry.

[Chorus]
        Em       G         D       AMy Jericho, Jericho lies beneath me
              Em                 G                   D     AThat trumpet sound and my life crashed and hit the ground
             Em                G            D     ADon't be surprised to find me lying in the ruins
                         Cadd9                                          DYeah, I'm battered and bruised but now there's nothing left for me to lose

I can find my way home

[Bridge]
        Cadd9              G                DSend my walls tum-tumbling tum-tumble-tumbling down x3
  Am7   G  DRestore my soul

[Chorus]
        Em       G         D       AMy Jericho, Jericho lies beneath me
              Em                 G                   D     AThat trumpet sound and my life crashed and hit the ground
             Em                G            D     ADon't be surprised to find me lying in the ruins
                         Cadd9                                          DYeah, I'm battered and bruised but now there's nothing left for me to lose

I can find my way home
