A Pilgrim's Journal

A cherished tune from the Gospel Echoes album "We'll Shake Hands".

   Key of D, 3/4 time

        D        G        D
   In a world of fear and turmoil
                                   A
   In a race that seems so hard to run
           D        G      D
   Lord, I need Thy rich infilling
        A               D
   Even so, Lord Jesus, come!


   (Chorus)
        D        G      D
   Even so, Lord Jesus, come!
      A                   D
   My heart doth long for Thee
                          G            D
   Though I've failed and betrayed Thy trust, Lord
        A             D
   Even so, my Jesus, come!


   (musical)


           D          G         D
   When my eyes shall span that river
                               A
   When I gaze into the vast unknown
         D        G       D
   May I say with calm assurance
         A                D
   "Even now, Lord Jesus, come!"

   (repeat chorus)

        A               D
   Even so, Lord Jesus, come!

It's the classic Statler Brothers song. I found the bulk of this on the net, but touched it up a bit with the G / D switches.

   Key of D

   (Chorus)
       D         Bm          G        A7     D
   Oh Elizabeth,   I long to see your pretty face.
                              Bm          G         A7     D
   I long to touch your lips,   I long to feel your warm embrace.
                              D7               G        Em7 (Em works too)
   Don't know if I could ever live my life without you,
       D         A7               D   G   D
   Oh Elizabeth, I'm sure missing you.

       G              A7              G  D
   I remember when we shared a life together.
                                                          A7
   You gave me strength and love and life that felt brand new.
                 G           A7              G       D
   But you're so far away, I have to say I'm feeling blue.
   G  D          A7                 D   G   D
   Oh Elizabeth,   I'm sure missing you.       (Chorus)

                  G                A7               G    D
   Well it's been said before that I've caused many heartaches,
                                       A7
   And I wonder, if that part's really true.
         G                  A7                  G      D
   Being right or wrong, it feels my heart will surely break,
   G  D          A7                D     G     D
   Oh Elizabeth,   I hope you understand.      (Chorus)

                              D7               G        Em7
   Don't know if I could ever live my life without you,
       D         A7               D   G   D
   Oh Elizabeth, I'm sure missing you.

      D      A7  D
   Oh Eliz - a - beth.

If you're rusty on some of the chords like me, I found hobby-hour quite useful.
