Intro - Emadd9
                     C2            C(nc) B(nc)  A7sus4           Emadd9
We are pilgrims in a strange land,  We   are    so  far from our homeland.
          C       G      Am7      G           C            G   Am7     G
With each passing day it seems so clear, This world will never want us here.
          C        G      Am7     G              C      G       Bb(b5) Fmaj7
We're not welcome in this world of wrong, We are foreigners who don't belong.

Chorus: (1x on first time, 2x on second time, instrument break on changes 
          and goto bridge)

Emadd9
Enc F#nc G         D       Cmaj7          Am7  Dsus4    Bm7    Emadd9 
We  are  strangers, we are aliens, we are not   of      this   world.


Emadd9                 C2    C(nc) B(nc)  A7sus4          Emadd9
We are envoys, we must tarry with  this   message we must carry.
           C       G    Am7     G              C    G        Am7  G
There's so much to do before we leave, with so many more who may believe.
    C       G         Am7   G            C         G        Bb(b5) Fmaj7 
Our mission here can never fail, and the gates of hell will not   prevail.

Emadd9, chorus


C     G       Am7       G        C      G       Am7     G
Jesus told us men would hate us, but we must be of good cheer,
        C   G        Am7      G         C       G      Bb(b5)    Fmaj7       
He has overcome this world of darkness, soon we will depart from here.
 (To chorus, 2x and vamp out on Emadd9)
