Emmylou Harris – Calling My Children Home (Guitar)

D
Those lives were mine to love and cherish.

                                 A
To guard and guide along life's way.

          D
Oh God forbid that one should perish.

                          A
That one alas should go astray.

D
Back in the years with all together,

                                A
Around the place we'd romp and play.

           D              
So lonely now and oft' times wonder,

             A                    D
Oh will they come back home some day.

D              
I'm lonesome for my precious children,

                 A
They live so far away.

             D                          
Oh may they hear my calling... Calling..

               A         D
And come back home some day.

D
I gave my all for my dear children,

                                  A
Their problems still with love I share,

                   D
I'd brave life's storm, defy the tempest

               A             D
To bring them home from anywhere.

D                                   
I lived my life my love I gave them,

                                      A
To guide them through this world of strife,

            D    
I hope and pray we'll live together,

               A               D
In that great glad here after life.

D
I'm lonesome for my precious children,

                  A
They live so far away.

             D                                          A         D
Oh may they hear my calling... Calling.. And come back home some day.
