If you had a vinGeyard on a fruitfuEml hill
And you fenced it and Ccleared it of all stones untiGlD  
You Gplanted it with the choicest of vineEm  
And you even built a tower and a press to make winCe
And you looked that it would bring forth sweet grapesG  
And it gave only wild Dgrapes
What would you Gsay Jerusalem and Judah
You be the judgeEms I prayC  
Between me and my vineyardG  
This is what God sDays
What Gmore could I have done in itEm  
That I did not do in itC  
Why when I ask it for sweetnessG  
It brings only bDitterness
For the vGineyard of the lord of hostsEm  
Is the house of IsraelC  
And the men of Judah
His pleasant GplantD  
And Ghe looks for justice but beholds oppresEmsion
And he hopes for equality but hears a crCy
Jerusalem and JudahG  
This is God's reDply
SadGness will come
To those who build house to hEmouse
And lay field to field 'til there's rCoom
For none but you to dwell in the Gland
Oh, Din the land
And Gsadness will come to those who call evil good
AnEmd good evil, who present darkness as light
And Clight as darkness, who present as sweetness
Only the Gthings which are Dbitterness
For the Gvineyard of the lord of hostsEm  
Is the house of IsraeCl
And the men of Judah his pleasant Gplant
Oh, oh his pDleasant plantG  
Oh, that my eyes were a fountain of teEmars
That I might weep for my poCor people
(for my poor peoplGe)D  
FoGr every boot stamped with fiercenEmess
For every cloak rolled in bloodC  
Jerusalem and JudahG  
I'd cry if I couldD  
Oh, that my eGyes were a fountain of tEmears
That I might wCeep for my poor peopleG  D  
Oh, that my eGyes were a fountain of tEmears
That I might wCeep for my poor peopleG  D  G

Play C or C/G

G Em

If you had a vineyard on a fruitful hill

C G D

And you fenced it and cleared it of all stones until

G Em

You planted it with the choicest of vine

And you even built a tower and a press to make wine

And you looked that it would bring forth sweet grapes

And it gave only wild grapes

What would you say Jerusalem and Judah

Em C

You be the judges I pray

Between me and my vineyard

This is what God says

G Em

What more could I have done in it

That I did not do in it

Why when I ask it for sweetness

It brings only bitterness

G Em

For the vineyard of the lord of hosts

Is the house of Israel

And the men of Judah

G D

His pleasant plant

G Em

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

G D

Only the things which are bitterness

G Em

For the vineyard of the lord of hosts

Is the house of Israel

And the men of Judah his pleasant plant

D G

Oh, oh his pleasant plant

Oh, that my eyes were a fountain of tears

That I might weep for my poor people

G D

(for my poor people)

G Em

For every boot stamped with fierceness

For every cloak rolled in blood

Jerusalem and Judah

I'd cry if I could

G Em

Oh, that my eyes were a fountain of tears

C G D

That I might weep for my poor people

G Em

Oh, that my eyes were a fountain of tears

C G D G

That I might weep for my poor people
