[VERSE 1]
God of my [E]fathers
[E]Huddled in the harbor
[E]Every man an ocean from his h[A]ome
Their ca[F#m]ptors could not k[E]eep them
When they h[F#m]eard the drums of f[E]reedom
The d[F#m]ream of a ki[E]ngdom
In a la[E]nd they've never kn[B]own
And G[E]od of my fathers
Stra[E]ngers in this coun[A]try
Pil[E]grims on these dusty ro[A]ads [B]
[F#m]Across the gr[E]eat plains
In the be[F#m]llies of the st[E]eel trains
[F#m]To stake a n[E]ew claim
In that wi[E]lderness of h[B]ope

[CHORUS]
[A]Like my fat[E]hers I am loo[B]king for a h[E]ome
Loo[A]king for a h[E]ome beyond the s[B]ea
So b[E]e my God and gu[B]ide me
Till I l[A]ie beneath the hills
Then let the gr[F#m]eat God of my fa[E]thers
Be the gr[A]eat God[E] of my [B]childre[E]n still

[VERSE 2]
[E]God of my grandfathers
[E]Gone these many years now
[E]I guess they're shining like the s[A]un
[F#m]And I envision t[E]hem
[F#m]Grinning at the fin[E]ish
And they sm[F#m]ile and they sm[E]ile
'Cause they l[B]ove to see me run

[CHORUS]
[A]Like my fat[E]hers I am loo[B]king for a h[E]ome
Loo[A]king for a h[E]ome beyond the s[B]ea
So b[E]e my God and gu[B]ide me
Till I l[A]ie beneath the hills
Then let the gr[F#m]eat God of my fa[E]thers
Be the gr[A]eat God[E] of my [B]children s[G#]til[A]l, ye[E]ah
[G#] [A] [F#] [B] (hold B)
Whoah, whoah

[BRIDGE]
[E]Now we're counting stars and counting sand
[E]Little feet and little hands
[E]We're counting j[A]oys
[F#m]We pray you'll know them
As you k[A]new us when you wove us
[F#m]As you hold us
[A]Hold them, please h[B]old them

[CHORUS]
L[A]ike their fa[E]ther, they are loo[B]king for a ho[E]me
L[A]ooking for a ho[E]me beyond the s[B]ea
So [E]be their God and gui[B]de them
Till they l[A]ie beneath these hills
And let the gr[F#m]eat God of their fa[E]ther
Be the [F#m]great God of their chi[E]ldren
Let the g[F#m]reat God of my fat[E]hers
Be the g[A]reat God of my c[B]hildren st[E]ill

[E] [A] x3
