Verse 1
(G major) (C major)
(G major) Lord, (E minor) I'm (D major) coming home (G major)
Now (E minor) back in (G major) South Georgi (C major) a,
when I was just a lad
(G major) Near the Okefenokee swamp,
possum and coon hunting
was really the fad.
(D major) We boys would all gather with
all of the hounds
and we'd head for the (G major) swamp
to hear a beautiful sight.
We'd find us a sitting (F major) down place
and all settled (G major) back and listen to the (E minor) chase.
But one dark (D major) night,
for some reason or another,
(G major) I wandered off and got
lost from all the others.
And I floundered around
for four nights and three days,
thinking (D major) maybe I could find my own way. (C major)
(D major) But I can tell you now (G major) that on the fourth day,
here was one little boy
that (D major) learned how to pray.
I fell on my knees
beside (G major) a great big log,
Too exhausted to think, (C major) I begin to sob. (G major)
Lord (E minor) if you'll help me to get
out of this place,
(D major) I'll wash my (G major) hands,
Lord I'll even wash my face,
And I'll mind my (E flat major) grandma
when (D major) she tells me what (C major) to do.
She under (G major) stands, boys, Lord.
She's (E minor) even tried to (D major) tell me
(G major) about you.
And I guess, (D major) that you understand,
boys,
because you (E minor) have one of your (G major) own.
I heard what (D major) happened to him, Lord,
and I'm (G major) awfully (C major) sorry.
But I (G major) sure wish you'd help me
to (E minor) find my way home.
(D major) I'm hungry, Lord, and tired,
(G major) and thirsty, too,
(D major) an d I've gone around in circles
for three or (G major) four days.
I just (C major) don't know what else to (G major) do.
(C major) Why, (E minor) down at the church the other day
when (C major) our little preach (D major) er started in to pray,
(G major) he said you'd help people that
got themselves lost.
(D major) He also said,
Lord, you'd help them to get found
if they were (G major) willing to pay
the cost.
Now, Lord, I don't know exactly what
it is (C major) that you charge,
but I'll pay you, (G major) Lord,
but you may have (E minor) to wait a little while
till I grow up (D major) to be big and large.
(G major) When I do grow up and get to (E minor) be a man,
a (G major) lot of these things I may understand.
I don't know, just what you'd have me to do,
but you just (E minor) holler, Lord,
and I'll drop whatever it is I'm doing,
and I'll (C major) come around,
be (G major) cause (D major) I know that I'll owe it (C major) all to you.
(G major) When I (D major) finished my prayer
and opened (E minor) my eyes,
(D major) there stood (G major) my old hunt (E minor) ing dog, Blue.
(G major) Was I ever surprised why
(C major) he ran up
and licked me on the chin,
as if (D major) to say, boy, (G major)
where in the world have you (E minor) been?
My (D major) granddaddy's (G major) whistle loud and shrill,
the most beautiful sound
I can hear it still.
He'd (E flat major) whistle many times
to call me (D major) in from play,
but that one (G major) long whistle I
can hear it today.
I closed (D major) my eyes and said, thank you Lord.
I (E flat major) knew that
And I'd get found
when you said the word.
(G major) Open wide thine (C major) arms,
O (G major) Lord, (E minor) Lord, I'm (D major) coming home.
