Capo 3 - Transpose until the G becomes a Bb to play without Capo

The lead breaks follow the lines

"We'd see him in the distance on the trail along the rim, His silver head against the mountain sky"
And
"Perhaps one day I'll see my home and Then he smiled and turned to go, And we all said goodbye to Mordecai"

Sing those line for the rhythm and you wont have a problem

G C D
We'd see him in the distance on the trail along the rim
C G D
His silver head against the mountain sky
G C Am
And Grandmas face would open up when she saw that it was him
C D G
And she'd say Daddy grab a chair its Mordecai

G C D
And it seemed to me he brought a country store there on his back
C G D
As he layed it all before us on the ground
G C Am
And I knew he'd finally reach into that ragged old back pack
C D G
For the candy that he always brought around

G D C
He Said My Papa was a wandering Jew and it's my fate to be one too
G D
I'll roam these mountain trails until I die
D C
Perhaps one day I'll see my home and Then he smiled and turned to go
G D G
And we all said goodbye to Mordecai

G C D C G D
D C G D G

G C D
One evening when he stayed with us I saw him at his prayers
C G D
As the last light trickled through the cabin door
G C Am
And he stood before the little yellow candle burning there
C D G
Softly speaking words I'd never heard before

G C D
And I told him how my Grandma said it troubled her mind so
C G D
Such a fine man wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb
G C Am
He smiled and said "Tell Grandma if it pleases her to know
C D G
That She and I both pray to the God of Abraham"


G D C
He Said My Papa was a wandering Jew and it's my fate to be one too
G D
I'll roam these mountain trails until I die
D C
Perhaps one day I'll see my home and Then he smiled and turned to go
G D G
And we all said goodbye to Mordecai

G C D C G D
D C G D G

G C D
It's been so long now since I've left that hillside far behind
C G D
For a place I've never truly called my home
G C Am
And more and more these days I see him walking in my mind
C D G
Through the misty mountain distance all alone

D C
Mordecai was a wandering Jew, in my own way I am one too
G D
I hope to make it home before I die
D C
And if I should ever find my way I'll light a candle at his grave
G D G
And say one more goodbye to Mordecai

G C D C G D
