Intro: Am Em C Dsus D  (x2)

   Am          Em          C        Dsus, D
1. I left Jerusalem last week for Jericho,
 
   Am       Em            C                Dsus D
   In the afternoon, the sun was getting low

       Am       Em                C               D
   And then the bushes shook and out they came at me

     G    D    G     D        C                G        B        D A
   They were robbing me half naked, while they beat me head to toe

             C              D                Am Em C D
   And they left me on the road to Jericho  (stronger)
   
   Am     Em                C              D
2. Lying almost slain and wounded by the road

   Am      Em                 C             Dsus D
   Crying out in pain, for a sympathetic soul

         Am      Em              C                D
   Well, first a priest and then another of my kind

   G     D   G      D         C                G      B           D A
   They were men I could have trusted but they acted deaf and blind

             C                              Dsus, D
   They were strangers on the road to Jericho

   Em  C          Am    G      C   A     Dm      Am   F  G
   Oh Jericho, Jericho Oh Jericho Oh Jericho 

   Dm           Am               F              G
3. Through the blood and tears I saw a worried face

   Dm           Am              F                G
   He was from Samaria, well my people hate his race

   Dm                Am             F              G
   He bandaged up my wounds and he laid me on his horse

     C    G  C    G      F                  C        E          G D
   Though my memory is cloudy, I can still feel his friendly glow

               F                    G    Dm      Am     F  softly
   Such a kind man on the road to Jericho........Jericho   

     C  G  C     G            F            C            E          G D
   When I later asked the Inn keeper, the mans name he did not know

           F               G            Dm  Am
   Just a neighbor on the road to Jericho.

   F          G        Dm         Am  F
   Jericho Oh Jericho woah Jericho
