Land Of My Sojourn Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Gsus2][G][Gsus2]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]And the
coal trucks come a- runnin'
With their [Csus2]bellies f[Gsus2]ull of coal
And [Csus2]their big wheels a- hum[Gsus2]min'
[G]Down this road that lies open
like the soul of a woman
Who [Csus2]hid the spies who were looki[D]n'
For the [Csus2]land of the milk
[D]and the [Gsus2]honey[G]
And this road she is a woman
She was [Csus2]made from a rib[D]
Cut from [Csus2]the sides[D] of these mountains
Oh [G]these great sleeping Adams
Who are lonely even here in [Csus2]para dise[D]
Lonely [Csus2]for somebody
to [D]kiss them
And I'll [Csus2]sing my song
[G]~ and I'll [Am]sing my song
In the [C]land [Csus2]of my sojourn

[Verse 2]
[G]And the lady in the harbor
She still [Csus2]holds her[D] torch out
To [C]those [D]huddled masses who are
[G]Yearning for a freedom
that still eludes them
The [Csus2]immigrant's [D]children see [Csus2]their
brightest dreams [D]shattered[G]
Here on the New Jersey shoreline in the
[C]Greed [G]and [D]the glitter of those
[Csus2]high- tech casi[D]nos
But [G]some mendicants wander
off into a cathedral
And they [Csus2]stoop in [D]the silence
And there [Csus2]their prayers[D]
are still whispered
And I'll [Em]sing their [C]song,
[Csus2]and I'll [C]sin[G]g their s[Am]ong
In the land of [C]my [Csus2]so journ[Em]

[Verse 3]
Nobody tells [Bm]you when
you get born here
[Csus2]How much [D]you'll come to love it
And how [Em]you'll nev[D]er belong here
So [Em]I call you my country
And I'll be [Bm]lonely for my home
And I [C]wish that I could take you
there with me
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[G]
And down the brown brick spine
of [Csus2]some dirty blind alle[G]y
[D]All [Csus2]those drain pip[G]es are dri[Gsus2]ppin'
[G]out the last Sons Of Thunder
While off in the distance
[Csus2]the smoke stacks
[Gsus2]Were belching [D]back this [C]city's
[D]best [G]answer

[Verse 5]
And the [G]countryside [Bm]was [G]pocked
[Bm]With all of those [Csus2]mail pouc[D]h posters
Thrown up [Em]on the rot
[D]ting sideboards of
[G]These rundown stables like the one
that Christ was born in
When the [Csus2]old world start[D]ed dying
And the [C]new world [D]started coming on
And I'll [C]sing His song,
[Csus2]and I'll [G]sing His [Am]song
In the [C]land of my so[Csus2]journ
[G][D]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
[D]In the land of my soj[G]ourn
And I will sing His [D]song[C]
[D]In the land of my soj[G]ourn"

[Outro 1]
