Andrew Peterson – God Of My Fathers (Guitar)

          E
[tab]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

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
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

             B
'Cause they love to see me run

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         G# A    E
Be the great God of my children still, yeah

G# A   F#  B  (hold B)
Whoah, whoah

E
Now we're counting stars and counting sand

E
Little feet and little hands

E               A
We're counting joys

F#m
We pray you'll know them

        A
As you knew us when you wove us

F#m
As you hold us

A                  B
Hold them, please hold them

 A           E                 B            E
Like their father, they are looking for a home

 A              E              B
Looking for a home beyond the sea

   E                   B
So be their God and guide them

           A
Till they lie beneath these hills

              F#m                E
And let the great God of their father

       F#m                   E
Be the great God of their children

         F#m               E
Let the great God of my fathers

        A               B         E
Be the great God of my children still

 A
Whoah
