Calling My Children Home Chords by Emmylou Harris

[D] _ _ [A] _ _ [Gm] I recorded this on another live [Bm] album that I did a few years ago called At The Ryman.
_ [A] I want to dedicate [D] this song to someone who sang on that version.
[A] He was a very dear friend and probably the best acoustic bass player that ever lived.
[D] And we lost him a few months ago.
Mr.
Roy Husky. _
_ _ _ _ Those lives were mine to love and cherish
To guard and guide _ [A] sway
_ [G] Oh [Dm] God forbid [D] that one should _ perish
That one at last should go _ astray _
[G] Back in [D] the years we've all [Bm] together
_ Around the place [Am] we've grown bent and prayed
[G] So lonely now _ times wonder
Oh will they [D] come back someday
_ _ I am lonesome for [Bm] my precious children
They [D] live so far _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Bm] away
Oh may they _ hear my [D] _ _ _ [Em] call
[D] And _ [A] come back home [D] _
someday
_ _ I gave my all for my dear children
Their problems still with love [A] I share
[G] I'd brave [D] life's storms, defy the tempest
[Em] To [A] bring them home from _ [D] anywhere _
I'd [G] live my life, my love I [D] gave
[E] To guide them through this [A] world of strife
I [G] hope and pray we'll live [Bm] together
[Em] In that great land here [G] after [D] life _
I'm lonesome for my precious children
They live so _ far [Am] _ [A] _
_ _ [D] away
Oh may they _ hear _ my _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [D] call
[A] And come back _
_ _ [D] _ someday _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Nice singing, boy.
