I am a Pilgrim
Willie Nelson
As his fans know, Willie is very jazzy with his phrasing, so I suggest fitting the words into the melody
however they work best for you, and just like Willie, never perform the song the same way twice!
       G             C
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
C7        F                      C
Traveling through this wearisome land
                   C7          F     F7
I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
C              F                     G              C
And  it's not, good lord it was not, not made by hand
            G                      C
And I got a mother, a sister and a brother
C7       F                  C
Who have gone to that sweet home
                C7        F         F7
I am determined to go and see them, good Lord
C        F             G            C
Over on, down over on, that distant shore
         G                    C
And I go down to the river of Jordan
C7      F                  C
Just to bathe my wearisome soul
                 C7             F        F7
If I could touch the hem of his garment, good Lord
C              F                    G                C
And I believe, good Lord I believe, it would make me whole
             G              C
Now when I’m dead and in my coffin
C7         F                   C
And all my friends all gather ‘round
                      C7        F                      F7
And they can say that he’s just laying there sleeping, good Lord
C            F              G                    C
Sweet peace, oh lord, sweet peace of the soul is found
       G             C
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
C7        F                      C
Traveling through this wearisome land
                   C7          F     F7
I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
C              F                     G              C
And  it's not, good lord it was not, not made by hand
