I am a pilgrim (Doc Watson)
Intro: Chords for verse
Chorus:
C G7 C
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
F C
Traveling through this wearisome land
F
I've got a home in that yonder city good Lord
C / TACET G7 / C
And it's not ~ Oh Lordy it’s not, not made by hand
G7 C
I've got a mother a sister and brother
F C
Who have gone to that other shore
F
I am determined to go and see them good Lord
C/ TACET G7/ C
And live Good Lordy with them - forevermore
G7 C
I'm going down to that river of Jordan
F C
Just to bathe my wearisome soul
F
If I could just touch the hem of His garment good Lord
C/ TACET G7/ C
Then I know - Oh Lordy, I know, He'll make me whole
G7 C
Now when you’ve laid me down in my coffin
F C
With these old tired hands resting on my breast
F
I don’t want you to do that ol’ crying over me
C/ TACET G7/ C
Because you know - Oh Lordy, you know, I’ve gone to rest
(Chorus)
