                 G#                 Fm
If you had a vineyard on a fruitful hill
                       C#
And you fenced it and cleared it of all
         G# D#
stones until
      G#                                Fm
You planted it with the choicest of vine
And you even built a tower and
                    C#
a press to make wine
And you looked that it would
                        G#
bring forth sweet grapes
                  D#
And it gave only wild grapes
       G#
What would you say Jerusalem and Judah
                 Fm     C#
You be the judges I pray
                           G#
Between me and my vineyard
                  D#
This is what God says

Chorus:
     G#                          Fm
What more could I have done in it
                       C#
That I did not do in it
                               G#
Why when I ask it for sweetness
                D#
It brings only bitterness
         G#                         Fm
For the vineyard of the lord of hosts
                      C#
Is the house of Israel
And the men of Judah
               G# D#
His pleasant plant

And he looks for justice but beholds oppression
And he hopes for equality but hears a cry
Jerusalem and Judah
This is god's reply

Sadness will come
To those who build house to house
And lay field to field 'til there's room
For none but you to dwell in the land
Oh in the land

And sadness will come
To those who call evil good
And good evil who present
Darkness as light
And light as darkness
Who present as sweetness
Only the things which are bitterness

Chorus:
For the vineyard of the lord of hosts
Is the house of Israel
And the men of Judah his pleasant plant
Oh oh his pleasant plant

Oh that my eyes were a fountain of tears
That I might weep for my poor people
For every boot stamped with fierceness
For every cloak rolled in blood
Jerusalem and Judah
I'd cry if I could
