Rains Draper - Promised Land

      [Intro]
C Am F G F C

[Verse]
                F
I came wandering to you
                Am
Like a lost man who’s been
                F                       G               C
In the wilderness for seventeen years
                   F
And you welcomed me
                  Am
Like the promised land
F               G       C Am F G F C
Driving out all my fears

[Chorus]
                 F
And I know it’s hard knowin’
        G                                 C    F   C
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
                 F
Oh, I hope I’ll get through it
        G                               C    F  C
Oh, get there and be just fine
                 F
And I know it’s hard knowin’
        G                                 C    F   C
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
                 F
Oh, I hope I’ll get through it
        G                               C    F  C
Oh, get there and be just fine


[Verse]
            F
Well these days seem to be
        Am
Speeding up
       F                       G          C
As my time here draws to a close
      F
I see now all
         Am
That I haven’t done
  F             G           C Am F G F C
But isn’t that just how it goes?

[Chorus]
                 F
And I know it’s hard knowin’
        G                                 C    F   C
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
                 F
Oh, I hope I’ll get through it
        G                               C    F  C
Oh, get there and be just fine 
                 F
And I know it’s hard knowin’
        G                                 C    F   C
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
                 F
Oh, I hope I’ll get through it
        G                               C    F  C
Oh, get there and be just fine 


[Bridge]
         F                      Am
But can’t I just have one more week?
C                               G
One more trip to Montsweag Creek?
Am                              F       G
One more walk in the wilderness?
F                               Am
My, oh my does the time fly by
                 C                              G
Till you wake up when the end’s in sight
        Am             F                        G
And realize all the time you’ve missed

[Outro]
                F
And I know it’s hard knowin’
        G                                 C    F   C
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
                 F
Oh, I hope I’ll get through it
        G                               C    F  C
Oh, get there and be just fine 
                         F
And I know it’s hard knowin’
        G                                 C    F   C
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
                                F
Oh, I hope I’ll get through it
        G                               C    F  C
Oh, get there and be just fine 

                F

I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
                 F
Oh, I hope I’ll get through it
        G                               C    F  C
