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
