Standard Tuning but played with Capo 1
 
C                        F            C
I saw a wayward traveler Upon a dusty road
C                                    D                 G
He trudged along his head bowed low, Beneath the heavy load
C                                       F              C
I stopped to speak and clasp his hands, By Jesus I was lead
C                                           G               C
He looked at me with teared-dimmed eyes and this is what he said.
 
C                                       F                      C
A pilgrim am I, and a stranger here all burdened with toil and care 
C                                    D                   G
On earth I have no dwelling place, I look for a city foursquare
C                                F                     C
I often grow weary with longing, to go to that home in fair
C                                             G           C
For I am just a stranger here, But I'll be no stranger up there.
 
C                                          F            C
I have a friend who walks with me, through every shadow's veil
C                                D                 G
His loving arm is there to hold, me in the wildest gale
C                                    F                    C
And when this earthly race is run, I know his nail-scarred hands
C                                G             C
Will safely lead my weary soul, into a better land.
 
C                                       F                      C
A pilgrim am I, and a stranger here all burdened with toil and care 
C                                    D                   G
On earth I have no dwelling place, I look for a city foursquare
C                                F                     C
I often grow weary with longing, to go to that home in fair
C                                             G           C
For I am just a stranger here, But I'll be no stranger up there.
