I AM A PILGRIM
G D G
D G G7
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
C C7 G
Travelling through this wearisome land
G G7 C C7
I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
G riff D G
And it's not not made by hand
I've got a mother, sister and a brother
Who have been this way before
I am determined to go and see them, good Lord
Over on that other shore
I going down to the river of Jordan
Just to bathe my wearisome soul
If I can just touch the hem of his garment, good Lord
Then I know He'd take me home
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
riff: (on A string): 2 2 3 4 5
