Calling My Children Home(Chords)

	        
(verse 1) 

D 
Those lives were mine to love and cherish. 
                                 A 
To guard and guide along life's way. 
          D 
Oh God forbid that one should perish. 
                          A 
That one alas should go astray. 

(verse 2) 
D 
Back in the years with all together, 
                                A 
Around the place we'd romp and play. 
           D               
So lonely now and oft' times wonder, 
             A                    D 
Oh will they come back home some day. 


D               
I'm lonesome for my precious children, 
                 A 
They live so far away. 
             D                           
Oh may they hear my calling... Calling.. 
               A         D 
And come back home some day. 


(verse 3) 

D 
I gave my all for my dear children, 
                                  A 
Their problems still with love I share, 
                   D 
I'd brave life's storm, defy the tempest 
               A             D 
To bring them home from anywhere. 

(verse 4) 

D                                    
I lived my life my love I gave them, 
                                      A 
To guide them through this world of strife, 
            D     
I hope and pray we'll live together, 
               A               D 
In that great glad here after life. 
 

D 
I'm lonesome for my precious children, 
                  A 
They live so far away. 
             D                                          A         D 
Oh may they hear my calling... Calling.. And come back home some day.
