Gno3 G        Gno3              G                 C/G            Dno3/G
      And the coal trucks come runnin' with their bellies full of coal
          C/G          Dno3/G
And their big wheels a-hummin' down
     Gno3          G    Gmaj7
This road that lies open    like the soul of the woman
    C/G                    Dno3/G           C/G                     Dno3/G
Who hid the spies who were lookin' for the land of the milk and the honey
G2         G2/B                          C2        Dadd4
  And this road she is a woman, she was made from a rib cut from the
C2             Dadd4              G2
Sides of these mountains of these   great sleeping Adams who are
G2/B                    C2   Dadd4          C2          Dadd4
    Lonely even here in paradise, lonely for somebody to kiss them
    C2maj7             G/B       Am7
And I'll sing my song, and I'll sing my song
        C2                G  D/G  G
In the land of my sojourn

         G                            C2        Dadd4
And the lady in the harbor she still holds her torch
             C2 Dadd4               G2                   G2/B
Out to those huddled masses who are yearning for freedom that still eludes them
     C2        Dadd4             C2                Dadd4
The immigant's children see their brightest dreams shattered
G2            G2/B                         C2          Dadd4
  Here on the New Jersey shoreline in the greed and the glitter of those
C2           Dadd4           G2                       G2/B
  High-tech casinos, but some   mendicants wander off     into a cathedral
          C2        Dadd4                    C2                 Dadd4
And they stoop in the silence and there their  prayers are still whispered
         C2               G/B      Am7
And I'll sing their song, and I'll sing their song
        C2
In the land of my sojourn

Em              Bm7
Nobody tells you when you get born here
     C2                  D
How much you'll come to love it
              C2/E       D
And how you'll never belong here so I'll
Em2                     Bm7
Call you my country and I'll be lonely for my home
       C2                                  Am7
And I wish that I could take you there with me

And down the brown brick spine of some dirty blind alley
All those drainpipes were drippin' out the last Sons of Thunder
While off in the distance the smokestacks were belching back this city's best
answer
And the countryside was pocked with all of those mailpouch posters
Thrown up on the rotting sideboards of these rundown stables
Like the one that Christ was born in when the old world started dying
And the new world started coming on
And I'll sing His song, and I'll sing His song
In the land of my sojourn
