              Intro: Cm Gm Dm F 
       Cm Gm A# F 
 
Cm              Gm  
Waiting on this empty street, 
Dm                        F 
Watching the rivers waves go by 
Cm              Gm  
Feeling mellow, lighting a cigarette, 
A#                 F 
Silver moon floats through the night 
G#             Cm 
Eris, Princess of the Isles 
Gm            A#   
Disperse your sparkling traces 
G#                 Cm 
Lead him on to the house of love 
          Gm            A#       D 
Where the Gods may turn his eyes 
Gm                D#         F                D 
To Jerusalem, we pray - It's time to meet you there 
Gm                 D#             F               D 
Let's take love to Jerusalem - Oh yeah - let's make love 
 
You might be the one I'm waiting for, 
I think we've met somewhere for sure 
Chasing shadows leaves you feelin' blue 
This situation needs a cure 
New assassins, new messiahs, 
Keepers of the balanced law 
Strangest lovers of the fire 
Which ignites the Halo of our souls 
In Jerusalem, we pray - It's time to meet you there 
Let's take love to Jerusalem - Oh yeah - let's make love 
D#         A#        F             C            
Big yellow Cadillac, carry me back home 
D#                A#                F              D   
On glory roads of pure delight we head out for the stars 
 
In Jerusalem... 
 
Till the end: Gm D# F D
