Land of My Sojourn Rich Mullins
Psalm 137:1-6/1 Peter 1:17/Joshua 2:1-24

Gno3 G Gno3 G C/G Dno3/G
And the coal trucks come runnin' with their bellies full of coal
C/G Dno3/G
And their big wheels a-hummin' down
Gno3 G Gmaj7
This road that lies open like the soul of the woman
C/G Dno3/G C/G Dno3/G
Who hid the spies who were lookin' for the land of the milk and the honey
[G2] And this [G2/B]road she is a woman, she was m[C2]ade from a[Dadd4] rib cut from the
[C2]Sides of these [Dadd4]mountains of these [G2] great sleeping Adams who are
[G2/B] Lonely even here in [C2]parad[Dadd4]ise, lonely for[C2] somebody to[Dadd4] kiss them
And [C2maj7]I'll sing my song, [G/B]and I'll s[Am7]ing my song
In the l[C2]and of my sojourn[G] [D/G] [G]
And the l[G]ady in the harbor she still h[C2]olds her t[Dadd4]orch
Out to those [C2]hud[Dadd4]dled masses who are [G2]yearning for freedom [G2/B]that still eludes them
The i[C2]mmigant's [Dadd4]children see their[C2] brightest dreams [Dadd4]shattered
[G2] Here on the [G2/B]New Jersey shoreline in the g[C2]reed and the[Dadd4] glitter of those
[C2] High-tech c[Dadd4]asinos, but some[G2] mendicants wander off [G2/B] into a cathedral
And they s[C2]toop in th[Dadd4]e silence and there their[C2] prayers are still[Dadd4] whispered
And I'll [C2]sing their song, [G/B]and I'll [Am7]sing their song
In the l[C2]and of my sojourn
[Em]Nobody tells you[Bm7] when you get born here
How m[C2]uch you'll come to l[D]ove it
And how you'll[C2/E] never belo[D]ng here so I'll
[Em2]Call you my country and [Bm7]I'll be lonely for my home
And I w[C2]ish that I could take you there with[Am7] me
And down the brown brick spine of some dirty blind alley
All those drainpipes were drippin' out the last Sons of Thunder
While off in the distance the smokestacks were belching back this city's best
answer
And the countryside was pocked with all of those mailpouch posters
Thrown up on the rotting sideboards of these rundown stables
Like the one that Christ was born in when the old world started dying
And the new world started coming on
And I'll sing His song, and I'll sing His song
In the land of my sojourn
