      Am  
'Twas long ago near Jericho, where Joshua lit the spark 
  Dm 
A soldier from a holy war, lay dying in the dark 
       Am   
And he heard the final trumpet through the sacred culling ground 
   Dm                                                 Am 
He heard a sound like thunder, as walls came tumbling down 
  C D       Am 
Jericho,    Jericho 
  
  
     Am 
He'd prayed to find redemption, prayed for inner peace 
   Dm 
He prayed upon the innocents, when searching for release  
   Am 
He travelled far behind the lines, cut the sacred wire 
Dm                                                   Am 
Put his lips against the steel, like a symbol of his ire  
            C D       Am  
Jericho,  Jericho,    Jericho 
  
  
Instrumental: Am  Dm  Am  Dm   
  
  
    Am                               
The lifeline was his holy cross, the giver of sweet gifts  
      Dm                                          Am 
Small mercies for the dying, on a final graveyard shift  
  C D       Am 
Jericho,    Jericho 
  
  
                                                  
There was a final consecration, a final calling card 
  Dm 
A lifetime's culmination, for the words that came so hard  
    Am 
The blood was coursing through his veins, he knew the final score 
Dm                                          
Sword lay in the scabbard and Death was at the door  
Am          C D       Am 
Jericho,  Jericho,    Jericho
