Verse: 1
D G D
There's a sorrow in the wind
G D
Blowing' down the road I've been
Bm G D G D
I can hear it cry while shadows steal the sun
G D
But I can not look back now
G D
I've come to far to turn around
Bm G D G D
And there's still a race ahead that I must run
Chorus:
Bm A D Bm A D
I'm only half-way home I gotta jour-ney on
Em G D G D
To where I'll find the things that I have lost
Bm A D Bm A D
I've come a long long road still I've got miles to go
Em G D G D
I've got a wide wide river to cross
Verse: 2
D G D
I have stumbled I have strayed
D G D
You can trace the tracks I made
Bm G D G D
All a-cross the memo-ries my heart recalls
G D G D
But I'm just a refu-gee won't you say a prayer for me
Bm G D G D
Cause some-times even the strongest soldier falls
