[Verse 1]
God of my Efathers
EHuddled in the harbor
EEvery man an ocean from his hAome
Their caF#mptors could not kEeep them
When they hF#meard the drums of fEreedom
The dF#mream of a kiEngdom
In a laEnd they've never knBown
And GEod of my fathers
StraEngers in this counAtry
PilEgrims on these dusty roAads B
F#mAcross the grEeat plains
In the beF#mllies of the stEeel trains
F#mTo stake a nEew claim
In that wiElderness of hBope
[Chorus]
ALike my fatEhers I am looBking for a hEome
LooAking for a hEome beyond the sBea
So bEe my God and guBide me
Till I lAie beneath the hills
Then let the grF#meat God of my faEthers
Be the grAeat GodE of my BchildreEn still

[Verse 2]
EGod of my grandfathers
EGone these many years now
EI guess they're shining like the sAun
F#mAnd I envision tEhem
F#mGrinning at the finEish
And they smF#mile and they smEile
'Cause they lBove to see me run
[Chorus]
ALike my fatEhers I am looBking for a hEome
LooAking for a hEome beyond the sBea
So bEe my God and guBide me
Till I lAie beneath the hills
Then let the grF#meat God of my faEthers
Be the grAeat GodE of my Bchildren sG#tilAl, yeEah
G# A F# B (hold B)
Whoah, whoah
[Bridge]
ENow we're counting stars and counting sand
ELittle feet and little hands
EWe're counting jAoys
F#mWe pray you'll know them
As you kAnew us when you wove us
F#mAs you hold us
AHold them, please hBold them
[Chorus]
LAike their faEther, they are looBking for a hoEme
LAooking for a hoEme beyond the sBea
So Ebe their God and guiBde them
Till they lAie beneath these hills
And let the grF#meat God of their faEther
Be the F#mgreat God of their chiEldren
Let the gF#mreat God of my fatEhers
Be the gAreat God of my cBhildren stEill
