stranger

And I find sickness
toil and danger

to roam

new home

One of these mornings
and it won't be long
Am Cmaj7

Woa, men will rise and
stand side by side
Am Cmaj7

And hand in hand they're
bound for glory
Am Cmaj7 Em
Their foes will fall
on freedom's side

more to roam
Am Cmaj7
Em
Oh, I'm going there,
it's just over Jordan
Am Cmaj7 Em
I'm going there no more
to roam
Em
Ah, if you've been passing through Lord the swinging gate
G D(addG) Em
Chances are you look behind you and wonder where you are
G D(addG) Em
And wonder where you are
Em
Ah to know another man's heart to know him through his pain
To know him through his happiness
G D(addG) Em G D(addG) Em
Then you can truly smile, then you can truly smile
Em
No it's not not just what you say
No it's mostly how you feel it
And it's not how much you spend
G D(addG) Em
No it's mostly where you lend it
You got me running
Em A Em A Em A etcetera
Ah I look around me every morning
So many love so many still on top of that thing
And I have to wonder truly wonder truly wonder
You care much about life to fall off and start again
Ah keeps me runnin' it keeps me hidin'
It keeps me peepin' but Lord don't you know sometimes you find it
It keeps me slippin' and slidin'
It keeps me runnin' and hidin'
Peepin' and a findin'
Ah I know I don't have
that much love to give
Oh but I'll find a way
to try
If that gate ain't swinging
low
I got the key in my
heart to try
Ah if you been passin'
through that swingin' gate
Chances are you looked
behind you and wonder where the hell you been goin'
Where you are and why
you'll carry on.
Lord your mind wants
to die but your heart keeps yelling back
"Buddy keep going"
Those voices from the
sea keep calling out: "Don't let us down"
The wind's gonna howl
and the baby's gonna cry
Keep runnin' and hidin'
now, peepin' and a findin'
Slipping and a slidin'
runnin' and a tryin'
Keep on tryin'
Ah now the room keeps
buzzin' yes
It's like a beehive
in the forest when the bears are down
Lord it hates to be
caught hates to be brought down
I ain't gonna suck the
life from you
Lord I got my roots
back home
And I just tear on borrowed
time
Just thought I passed
by and say hello friend
It don't feel the same
way I do
Think after that
You see I'm just a rusty
henge
Keep on runnin' keep
on listen to your heart
Ah listen to your heart
Don't take the sparkle
out of those little children's eyes
Let them run and play
let them run and play
Soon enough to be just
like you
Em Am Em
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Am Cmaj7 Em
Travelling through this world of woes
Am Em
Lord and I find sickness sickness, oh toil and trouble oh
Am Cmaj7 Em
Everywhere everywhere everywhere I see
D C Em
Lord I'm going there to find to find my brother
D Cmaj7 Em
They told me that he'll be waiting there
Am Cmaj7 Em

Am Cmaj7 Em
