[Intro]
C E Am Fmaj7 Cmaj9(no 3rd)
[Verse 1]
Help me Csing
All you wearEy strangers, raise your voice
In this chaAmin-gang chorus in our younger days
My brothers, we were naive sailors
Fmaj7 Cmaj9(no 3rd)
Oh, the storms we've all endured
[Verse 2]
OhC, the road
And all you whoE sing the praises of dust and bones
And places thatAm she takes us, the choice was ours
We wanted much more than our fathers
Fmaj7 Cmaj9(no 3rd)
While our mothers said their prayers
[Chorus 1]
And we're moving on Cup
To the east side
And we Efinally got a piece of the Ampie
Fmaj7 Cmaj9(no 3rd)
Yeah, of the pie
[Verse 3]
Now yourC baby doll
All you womenE of the travelers, your empty arms
Your patient hAmearts and waiting, bless your hearts
And your never-ending patience
Fmaj7 Cmaj9(no 3rd)
I could not go on without you
[Verse 4]
And we're alCl the same
All the blue and Ebright white collars, we're all the same
All our troubAmles and our sorrows, but underneath
It's just blood and bone and mixture
Fmaj7 Cmaj9(no 3rd)
Though we dance to different songs
[Chorus 2]
Like your mommCa's alright
And your daddy's alright
AndE they jusAmt seem a little bit weird
Fmaj7 Cmaj9(no 3rd)
Oh, surrender
[Verse 5]
Every Cman
Every woman wiEth a burden, raise your hands
Raise 'em up to tAmhe firmament, let's see those hands
Fmaj7 Cmaj9(no 3rd)
Meet your brothers and your sisters, use your hands
[Outro]
We are oCur fathers' sons
