[Intro]
E | A | A | E |
E
Now we are walking in the footsteps of our fathers
A
Standing in the shadows of our mothers
F#m
Trying to learn from those who came before us
D B
I see the road maps in the lines upon their face
E
And as I look out on this crazy congregation
A
The truth is inside we're all the same
F#m
So come on all my sisters and my brothers
D E | E | A | A |
Let's go walking, walking in the footsteps of our fathers
E
I'm the first to say I don't know what I'm doing
A
I ain't gonna preach what I don't know
B
'Cause I ain't no deep theologer, no Ph.D psychologer
A B
I'm making all this s**t up as I go
E
But I know for sure we're all in this together

A B
Let's have little church right here tonight
E
As we go walking in the footsteps of our fathers
A
Standing in the shadows of our mothers
F#m
Trying to learn from those who came before us
D B
I see the road maps in the lines upon their face
E
And as I look out on this crazy congregation
A
The truth is inside we're all the same
F#m
Come on all my sisters and my brothers
D B E
Let's go walking, walking in the footsteps of our fathers
Abm A
As I look down at the brother of my daughter
E B
As I kneel and kiss the sister of my son
Abm A
I only hope I leave the righteous path to follow
F#m B
As they go walking
B E
We are walking in the footsteps of our fathers
We are walking in the footsteps of our fathers
A
Standing in the shadows of our mothers
F#m
Trying to learn from those who came before us
A D B
I see the road maps in the lines upon their face

As I look out on this crazy congregation
A
The truth is inside we're all the same
F#m
So come on all my sisters and my brothers
D B E A
Let's go walking, walking in the footsteps of our fathers
A E
We are walking, walking in the footsteps
