Capo 3rd Fret
(Am) I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling (Dm) thru this world of (Am) woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright (Dm) world to which I (Am) go
I'm going (F) there to see my (C) father
I'm going (F) there no more to (E) roam
I'm only (Am) going over Jordan
I'm only (Dm) going over (Am) home
Instrumental – Follow pattern of 1st verse
(Am) I know dark clouds will gather around me
I know my (Dm) way is rough and (Am) steep
Yet Jesus feels like just before me
Where God's re-(Dm)-deemed their vigils (Am) keep
I'm going (F) there to see my (C) mother
She said she'd (F) meet me when I (E) come
I'm only (Am) going over Jordan
I'm only (Dm) going over (Am) home
Instrumental ending – Follow pattern of last verse
