Topic: I
This is a bit of a bittersweet folk song about our times. So many hard working people come to my country to try and make it and for most of the people who live here already there is not a lot of respect given when in my opinion there really should be a ton. Anyway I hope you all like it. I’ll try and get it recorded and up soon.
I’m a Weary Traveler By Jeff Gilpin
September 21, 2014
[Bm]I’m a weary [A]traveler
My [G]journey [A]far from [Bm]done
I come from a far off [A]place
Too [G]dangerous for [A]me to be[Bm]long
I’m [A]heading to the [D]land I’ve heard
Where [G]I can stake my [A]claim
And [Bm]never worry [A]any more
So [G]that’s the [A]land where I [Bm]aim
I’ve survived many [A]hardships
[G]Barely es[A]caped with my [Bm]life
Throughout my perilous [A]journeys
I [G]valued [A]every re[Bm]spite
I’ve [A]come to know my [D]traveling friends
[G]Fear and anxie[A]ty
[Bm]Saved my life far too [A]many time
[G]Always will be [A]traveling with [Bm]me
Solo on verse chords
Bridge
[F#]I dream waking [Bm]to the day
[G]My journey comes to an [A]end
[Bm]But for now I’m [A]traveling on
[G]With my [A]traveling [Bm]friends
[Bm]Far off in the [A]future
I [G]see that land of [A]prosperi[Bm]ty
Where hard work pays and I’ll work [A]hard all the days
[G]Living in the [A]land of the [Bm]free
Where I [A]know I’ll be res[D]pected
And [G]valued by one and [A]all
Where [Bm]everyone is [A]equal
In the [G]land where [A]I heard the [Bm]call …and [A]why
[Bm]I’m a weary [A]traveler
My [G]journey [A]far from [Bm]done
I come from a far off [A]place
Too [G]dangerous for [A]me to be[Bm]long
I’m [A]heading to the [D]land I’ve heard
Where [G]I can stake my [A]claim
And [Bm]never worry [A]any more
So [G]that’s the [A]land where I [Bm]aim
