I AM A PILGRIM
G D C
D G G7
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
C C7 G
Travelling through this wearsome 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, got a sister and brother
Who have been this way before
I am determined to go and see them, good Lord
Over on that other shore
Repeat first verse
I'm going down to that river of Jordan
Just to bathe my wearsome soul
If I could just touch the hem of his garment, good Lord
Then I know he'll take me home
Repeat first verse
