Chords for Land Of My Sojourn

_ _ _ And the coal trucks come a-runnin'
With their [D] bellies full of coal
And their big wheels a [G]-hummin' down
This road that lies open
Like the soul of a woman
Who hid [D] the spies that were lookin' for
The land of the milk and the honey
_ _ [G] And this road she is a woman
[C] And she was [D] made from a rib cut
From the sides of these mountains
Of these great sleeping [G] Adams
Who are lonely even here in paradise
[G] Lonely for [D] somebody to kiss [G] them
And I'll sing my song
_ _ _ [Am] And I'll sing my song
[C] In the land of my [G] _
sojourn
And the lady in the harbor
She still [D] holds her torch
[C] Out to those [D] huddled masses
[G] Who are yearning for freedom
_ Still eludes them
The [D] immigrants' children
[C] See their [D] brightest dreams [G] shatter
_ _ Here on the New Jersey shoreline
In the greed [D] and the glitter
[G] Of those [D] high-tech [G] casinos
But some Mindecans wander off
Into a cathedral
[C] And they sloop [D] in the silence
And their [D] prayers are still whispered
And I'll [C] sing their song
_ _ _ [Am] And I'll sing their song
In the land [D] of my [Em] sojourn
Nobody tells you
[Bm] When you get born here
[G] How much you'll [D] become beloved
And [Em] how you'll [D] never belong [Em] here
So I'll call you my country
[Bm] And I'll be lonely for my home
[C] And I wish that I could take you [Am] there with me _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ And down the brown brick spine
Of [Cm] some [D] dirty blind alley
[G] All those [D] dream pipes are dripping [G] out
The last suns of thunder
While orphanages [C] with [D] smokestacks
Were belching [G] back this [D] city's first [G] cancer
_ _ [Bm] And the countryside was blocked
With [G] all of those [D] mail pouch posters [Em] thrown apart
[D] And God inside both [G] of these run-down stables
Like the one that Christ was born in
[C] When the [D] old world started dying
[Em] And the [D] new world started coming on
[C] And I'll sing his song
[G] _
_ _ [Am] And I'll sing his song
[G] In the land of my [D] sojourn _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _
[D] In the land of [G] my _ _ sojourn
_ And I will [D] sing his song
[G] _
[D] In the land of [G] my _ _ _ sojourn
