Jericho

 

Intro figure

 

| E         | B          | A            | A           |

My heart is like Jericho

a fortress built long ago

a royal city filled with gold

a mighty, mighty stronghold

But inside of Jericho

was a lost and lonely town

so soldier if you think you're the one

who regiment this battlement can surround and bring it down

 

                  | c#,            | B         | A        | B        |

         won't you blow your trumpet now

   | c#,                         | B                               | A         | B        |

         and I'll wave my flag as the walls come tumbling down.          {repeat 2x}          

 

Intro figure

 

| E         | B          | A            | A           |

My heart is like Jericho

a palace for a queen

filled with silks and precious things

walls covered in velvetine

But Jericho is not all it seems

and this castle is a smoke screen

so soldier if you think you've got the eyes

to clear this cloud and realize my disguise

        

DOUBLE CHORUS  

Drop way back

 

My heart's leaving Jericho

a city so far from my home

across the river in the open plain

where milk and honey flow

 

But my heart still beats for Jericho

the only safety I've ever known

so soldier if you're calling me to go

| c#,            | B         | A        | B        |

you better keep your trumpet      ready to    blow. you better keep your

| c#,            | B         | A        | B        |

trumpet      ready to    blow. you better keep your  (ad lib. Out)

(Develop the marching around 7x)
