I will play an old gospel tune called "I Am A Pilgrim" for this week's Open Mic.It's a song I used to play some years ago in normal tuning. Then I sort of forgot about it for a while but recently I took it out of my memory drawers, dusted it out and put it into DADGAD tuning.
It will probably be the last of my posts for some time as I am going to Himalayas for at least 2 months for some trekking and I am afraid there will not be any internet connection available. But as soon as I can I will be back with some new music and maybe some Himalayan stories and pictures...

Lyrics:
I Am A Pilgrim
I am a pilgrim and a stranger Traveling through this wearisome land And I’ve got a home in that yonder city, good Lord And it’s not (good Lord it’s not) been made by hand
I got a mother, a sister and a brother Who have gone to that sweet home And I am determined to go and see them, good Lord Over on (good Lord over on) the other side
When I've been walking down to that river of Jordan Just to bathe my weary soul If I could just but touch the hem of His garment, good Lord I believe (good Lord I believe) that would make me whole
Now when I’m laying in my coffin All of my friends all gather round They can say that he is just laying there sleeping, good Lord Sweet peace (good Lord sweet peace) his soul is found
