Elvis Perkins - Weeping Pilgrim

      This song is off Help Me to Sing: Songs of The Sacred Harp.  Great cover.

Capo 4

Elvis plays C 032013 for a lot of the song, but it sounds fine either way.

Intro C* (032013)

C
You may tell them madam 

When you see this them
       Am
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim
       F                  C
I'm bound to the promise land

You may tell them Adam 
When you see this them

I'm bound to the promise land

   Am         C
I weep and I moan
       F          Am
And I move slowly on

I'm Bound for Canaan land
