God Of My Fathers

E E E A

          E
God of my fathers
E
Huddled in the harbor
E                            A
Every man an ocean from his home
        F#m              E
Their captors could not keep them
           F#m                E
When they heard the drums of freedom
     F#m         E
The dream of a kingdom
       E                  B
In a land they've never known
     E
And God of my fathers
    E                 A
Strangers in this country
   E                      A   B
Pilgrims on these dusty roads
F#m          E
Across the great plains
         F#m            E
In the bellies of the steel trains
F#m         E
To stake a new claim
          E            B
In that wilderness of hope

A          E            B           E
Like my fathers I am looking for a home
   A           E               B
Looking for a home beyond the sea
    E              B
So be my God and guide me
        A
Till I lie beneath the hills
               F#m             E
Then let the great God of my fathers
         A      E      B      E
Be the great God of my children still

E
God of my grandfathers
E
Gone these many years now
E                                 A
I guess they're shining like the sun
F#m             E
And I envision them
F#m                E
Grinning at the finish
           F#m            E
And they smile and they smile
             B
'Cause they love to see me run

A          E            B           E
Like my fathers I am looking for a home
   A           E               B
Looking for a home beyond the sea
    E              B
So be my God and guide me
        A
Till I lie beneath the hills
               F#m             E
Then let the great God of my fathers
         A      E      B         G# A    E
Be the great God of my children still, yeah
G# A   F#  B  (hold B)
Whoah, whoah

E
Now we're counting stars and counting sand
E
Little feet and little hands
E               A
We're counting joys
F#m
We pray you'll know them
        A
As you knew us when you wove us
F#m
As you hold us
A                  B
Hold them, please hold them

 A           E                 B            E
Like their father, they are looking for a home
 A              E              B
Looking for a home beyond the sea
   E                   B
So be their God and guide them
           A
Till they lie beneath these hills
              F#m                E
And let the great God of their father
       F#m                   E
Be the great God of their children
         F#m               E
Let the great God of my fathers
        A               B         E
Be the great God of my children still
