The Land I Call Home

| C          ||

[Verse 1]

        C                            C
All the troubled, stormy days I have passed here,
        C                         C        F
all the wild and wicked ways I've spent my years.
    C                      C          Am
But every soul has a place where it belongs,
    C                        F G    C
so, lay me down in this land I call home.

[Chorus]

          Am              F            F      Em        Em
Save your prayers for the wretched who can be saved,
       Am          F              F              G         G
I have no shame or sorrow for the life that I've made.
           Am        F               F           C        C
There's no heaven or hell that could carry these bones,
    C                        F G    C
so, lay me down in this land I call home.

[Verse 2]

C                          C
Every scar upon this earth scorched by this blade,
C                              C              F
every cry and every curse that still bears my name.
   C                          C        Am
Forever will be written here, right or wrong,
    C                        F G    C
so, lay me down in this land I call home.

[Chorus]

          Am              F            F      Em        Em
Save your prayers for the wretched who can be saved,
       Am          F              F              G         G
I have no shame or sorrow for the life that I've made.
           Am        F               F           C        C
There's no heaven or hell that could carry these bones,
    C                        F G    C
so, lay me down in this land I call home.

[End-Chorus]

          Am              F            F      Em        Em
Save your prayers for the wretched who can be saved,
       Am          F              F              G         G
I have no shame or sorrow for the life that I've made.
           Am        F               F           C        C
There's no heaven or hell that could carry these bones,
    C                        F G    C
so, lay me down in this land I call home.
       C            F           C
Lay me down in this land I call home.
