Verse 1

G

D
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.
D

He also said,

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.
Eb

I knew that

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.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
