verse:
I was walkin' w[D]alkin' down j[C]ericho r[E]oad
e[D]very mi[C]le that I tr[E]aveled showed
and I was wa[D]lkin' down j[C]ericho [E]road
i just kept walkin' walkin' down jericho road
the sun burned red over fields of gold
and i was walkin' down jericho road
chorus:
[G]joshua went to battle that's how the st[D]ory goes
and the w[E]alls came tumblin' d[C]own i know
(back to verse riff)
but i'm still walkin' walkin' down jericho road
i met my mamma walkin' down jericho road
tears in eyes and her head hung low
and she's walkin' down jericho road
i met my papa walkin' down jericho road
back bent low from a heavy load
and he's walkin' down jericho road
chorus:
i said p[G]apa don't you know me
won't you l[D]ay your burden down
he just sh[E]ook his head and said
son you be[C]tter turn around
(BACK TO VERSE RIFF)
and he keep on walkin' walkin' down jericho road
i met my brother walkin' down jericho road
his hands were bloody but face was clean
and he's walkin' down jericho road
i met my sister walkin' down jericho road
a baby in her arms i had never seen
and they're walkin' down jericho road
she said its j[G]ust and orphan child
i f[D]ound along the way
i'll r[E]aise him and maybe he'll f[C]orgive us all someday
(back to verse riff)
for walkin' down jericho road
