Post by: NJDBalla on October 23, 2008, 05:07:58 PM

Hey LGM FAM! My adult choir singin this song and I can't help but feel that I'm missing something. I listen to the recording and the chords I play sound a little "off". I know its in the key of E. The song is simple but still would love to have your help.


          Thanks in Advance,
                     NJD

Funny I was just thinking about this song this morning. I've always heard choirs sing it but never knew the artist. I'll see if I can find an audio and learn it.

L: I'm coming Lord
C: Coming Lord
L: All by myself
C: by myself
L: Don't call the roll
C: call the roll
L: till I get there
C: I get there
L: I'm coming Lord
C: coming Lord
L: all by myself
C: by myself
L: I can't answer
C: I can't answer
L: for nobody else

Verse: I wanna walk the streets of gold, I wanna touch the pearly gates, I wanna feast on milk and honey in that land where there is plenty, I wanna do a holy dance I wanna shout hallelujah, I wanna sing Zion songs in my heavenly, heavenly home.

I can't answer for my mother, I can't answer for my father, I can't answer for my sister, not even my brother.

L: I'm coming Lord
C: Coming Lord
L: All by myself
C: by myself
L: Don't call the roll

C: Don't call the roll till I get there (Repeat over to end the song)

L: Don’t call my name
    Don’t sign my name
    Til I get there
    Don’t call the roll, Lord (2x)
    Don’t sign my name (2x)
    I wanna hear servant, servant well done (2x)
    Don’t sign my name (3x)
    Til I get there
    I wanna to hear different, servant well done (2x)


The chords are basically the same all the way through so just the first part will do ;D




    Hope this helps and thanks in advance,
