[Am] [F] [F#] [G]
[C]
[G] am a pilgrim [Dm] and a [C] stranger, [F] [C]
[F] traveling through this weary [C] sunlit land.
I got a home in [Am] [C]
that [F] yonder city, good Lord, [C] and it's not, [A#] good [F#m] [G] Lordy, well it's not made by [C] hand.
And I got a [G] mother, a sister, and [C] a brother, who [F] have gone to that sweet [C] home.
[G] [C] I am determined to [E]
go [F] and see them, good Lord, [Dm] [C] over on [G]
that [C] distant shore.

I go [G] down [Em] to the river of [C] joy, [F] just to bathe [Dm]
[F] my weary [C] soul.
And if I could touch just the hem [F] of his garment, good [Dm] Lord, I [C] believe, [F#] good Lord, [G] I believe it would [C] make me whole.
Now when [G] I'm dead and in my [C] coffin, all [F] my friends all gather [C] round and they can't say anything.
He's just laying there [F] sleeping, and good Lord, [C] sweet peace, [G] Lordy, sweet peace, his soul is [C] found.
