[Intro]
G C G D

[Verse 1]
            G    C
There was a time when
    G           D
The wall of jerusalem
G   C   G    D       G
lay in ruin and disarray
C     G   D          G    C           G          D
then nehemiah said "hey, when will my people get aid"

[Verse 2]
     G     C   G   D              G
you see, nehemiah lived way back east,
C        G    D         G       C       G       D
he was cupbearer to the king of persia artaxerxes,
            G             C         G          D
he prayed "please let the king find favor with me"

[Verse 3]
         Em             D           C             G
he said king is there a way I could use some sick days
   Em          D                   C         G
to travel back home and oh there's one more thing
          Em              D                C           G
would you gaurantee safe passage, oh and I just remembered
          Em              D        C         G
could you get your lumberjack to cut me some timber

[Chorus]
             G     C       G   D
to build the wall yall, a wall yall
    G    C       G    D
the wall yall, a wall yall
    G    C       G           D            G C G D
the wall yall, a wall in the book of nehemiah

[Verse 4]
      G    C   G        D               G   C
he arrived at jerusalem got the people started,
        G          D      G        C    G            D          G
he said don't lose heart, don't forget, rome wasn't built in a day,
          C         G                  D
and as of yet, they still haven't finished it

[Verse 5]
G       C       G              D           G       C
day and night, working up the wall to it's full height,
    G             D         G    C
but then came the mean old ammonites,
G                D           G    C        G            D
they said out of spite "this wall won't go up without a fight..."

[Verse 6]
            Em         D         C         G
"well we're gonna keep building this wall here"
         Em      D                C        G
with a shovel in one hand and the other a spear
    Em       D          C          G
and even without modern day pepper spray,
       Em          D        C        G
they finished that wall in fifty two days

[Chorus]
             G     C       G   D
they built the wall yall, a wall yall
    G    C       G    D
the wall yall, a wall yall
    G    C       G           D            G C G D
the wall yall, a wall in the book of nehemiah
     G C     G           D            G
nehemiah, a wall in the book of nehemiah
