I am a Pilgrim
Willie Nelson
As his fans know, Willie is very jazzy with his phrasing, so I suggest fitting the words into the melody
however they work best for you, and just like Willie, never perform the song the same way twice!
GG CC
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
C7C7 
FF CC
Traveling through this wearisome land
C7C7 FF 
F7F7
I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
CC FF GG CC
And it's not, good lord it was not, not made by hand
GG CC
And I got a mother, a sister and a brother
C7C7 FF CC
Who have gone to that sweet home
C7C7 FF F7F7
I am determined to go and see them, good Lord
CC FF GG CC
Over on, down over on, that distant shore
GG CC
And I go down to the river of Jordan
C7C7 FF CC
Just to bathe my wearisome soul
C7C7 FF F7F7
If I could touch the hem of his garment, good Lord
CC FF GG CC
And I believe, good Lord I believe, it would make me whole
GG CC
Now when I’m dead and in my coffin
C7C7 FF CC
And all my friends all gather ‘round
C7C7 FF F7F7
And they can say that he’s just laying there sleeping, good Lord
CC FF GG CC
Sweet peace, oh lord, sweet peace of the soul is found
GG CC
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
C7C7 FF CC
Traveling through this wearisome land
C7C7 FF F7F7
I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
CC FF GG CC
And it's not, good lord it was not, not made by hand
