[Intro]
E E E A

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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 A X3
A A

[Verse 2]
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
