Verse: 1

          D (xx0232@1)    G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)There's a sorrow in the wind

                  G (320003@1)       DBlowing' (xx0232@1)down the road I've been

      Bm (x24432@1)              G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)  GD
I can hear it cry while shadows steal the sun

              G (320003@1)       DBut (xx0232@1)I can not look back now

                    G (320003@1)  DI've (xx0232@1)come to far to turn around

            Bm (x24432@1)         G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1) GD
And there's still a race ahead that I must run


Chorus:

         Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)          Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)   
I'm only half-way home I gotta jour-ney on

              Em (022000@1)     G (320003@1)                D (xx0232@1)  GD
To where I'll find the things that I have lost

            Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1)  D (xx0232@1)             Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1)      DI've (xx0232@1)come a long long road still I've got miles to go

           Em (022000@1)      G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)   GD
I've got a wide wide river to cross


Verse: 2

       D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)    DI (xx0232@1)have stumbled I have strayed

        D (xx0232@1)       G (320003@1)      DYou (xx0232@1)can trace the tracks I made

      Bm (x24432@1)          G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1)     GD
All a-cross the memo-ries my heart recalls

               G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)                 G (320003@1)        DBut (xx0232@1)I'm just a refu-gee won't you say a prayer for me

           Bm (x24432@1)           G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)   GD
Cause some-times even the strongest soldier falls
