G
Lord, I'm coming home
Em
G
C
Now back in South Georgia,
when I was just a lad
G
Near the Okefenokee swamp,
possum and coon hunting
was really the fad.
D
We boys would all gather with
all of the hounds
G
and we'd head for the swamp
to hear a beautiful sight.
F
We'd find us a sitting down place
G
Em
and all settled back and listen to the chase.
D
But one dark night,
for some reason or another,
G
I wandered off and got
lost from all the others.
And I floundered around
for four nights and three days,
D
C
thinking maybe I could find my own way.
D
G
But I can tell you now that on the fourth day,
here was one little boy
D
that learned how to pray.
I fell on my knees
G
beside a great big log,
C
G
Too exhausted to think, I begin to sob.
Em
Lord if you'll help me to get
out of this place,
D
G
I'll wash my hands,
Lord I'll even wash my face,
Eb
And I'll mind my grandma
D
C
when she tells me what to do.
G
She understands, boys, Lord.
Em
D
She's even tried to tell me
G
about you.
D
And I guess, that you understand,
boys,
Em
G
because you have one of your own.
D
I heard what happened to him, Lord,
G
C
and I'm awfully sorry.
G
But I sure wish you'd help me
Em
to find my way home.
D
I'm hungry, Lord, and tired,
G
and thirsty, too,
D
an d I've gone around in circles
G
for three or four days.
C
G
I just don't know what else to do.
C
Em
Why, down at the church the other day
C
D
when our little preacher started in to pray,
G
he said you'd help people that
got themselves lost.
Lord, you'd help them to get found
G
if they were willing to pay
the cost.
Now, Lord, I don't know exactly what
C
it is that you charge,
G
but I'll pay you, Lord,
Em
but you may have to wait a little while
D
till I grow up to be big and large.
G
Em
When I do grow up and get to be a man,
G
a lot of these things I may understand.
I don't know, just what you'd have me to do,
Em
but you just holler, Lord,
and I'll drop whatever it is I'm doing,
C
and I'll come around,
G
D
C
because I know that I'll owe it all to you.
G
D
When I finished my prayer
Em
and opened my eyes,
D
G
Em
there stood my old hunting dog, Blue.
G
Was I ever surprised why
C
he ran up
and licked me on the chin,
D
G
as if to say, boy,
Em
where in the world have you been?
D
G
My granddaddy's whistle loud and shrill,
the most beautiful sound
I can hear it still.
Eb
He'd whistle many times
D
to call me in from play,
G
but that one long whistle I
can hear it today.
D
I closed my eyes and said, thank you Lord.
And I'd get found
when you said the word.
G
C
Open wide thine arms,
G
Em
D
O Lord, Lord, I'm coming home.
