[Verse 1]
           A
Father Abraham
            A
Do you remember when
            D
You were called to a land
                    D
And didn't know the way

                     A
'Cause we are wandering
               A
In a foreign land
          D
We are children of the
                  D
Promise of the faith


[Prechorus 1]
       F#m
And I long to find it
          E
Can you feel it, too?
          D
That the sun that's shining
                     D
Is a shadow of the truth


[Chorus]
           A                      D
This is a far country, this is a far country
         A  D
Not my home


[Verse 2]
            A
In the dark of the night
                   A
I can feel the shadows all around me
  D                                 D
Cold shadows in the corners of my heart

                       A
But the heart of the fight
                 A
Is not in the flesh but in the spirit
           D                             D
And the spirit's got me shaking in the dark


[Prechorus 2]
         F#m
And I long to go there
        E
I can feel the truth
         D
I can hear the promise
                      D
Of the angels of the moon


[Chorus 2]
           A                   D
This is a far country, it's just a far country
         F#m           E
Not my home, not my home


[Instrumental]
A D A D


[Bridge]
     F#m
I can see in the strip malls and the phone calls
       F#m
The flaming swords of Eden
         D
In the fast cash and the news flash
          D
And the horn blast of war
         G                         G
In the sin-fraught cities of the dying and the dead
        Bm                                Bm
Like steel-wrought graveyards where the wicked never rest
        F#m                               E
To the high and lonely mountain in the groaning wilderness
     D
We ache for what is lost
      Bm
As we wait for the holy God
               A                  D
Of Father Abraham, oh Father Abraham


[End Chorus]
       F#m     E
I was made to go there
             A           F#m
Out of this far country
        E       A  D
To my home, to my home
           A                         D
This is a far country, it's just a far country
          A                 D
Not my home, oh Father Abraham
         A              D
And I long to go there
