CAPO II:

(G7)
Well, well well well
            (C)                
I look over yonder, and what I see
             (G7)                 (C)
Seems like a chariot comin' after me
                (f)  
Swing low sweet chariot
(C)           (G7)    (C)
Comin' for to cary me home


CHORUS:
              C
Why don't you swing down chariot stop and let me ride
G7
Swing down chariot stop and let me ride
C             F            C             Am
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord, calm and easy
        F           G     C
I got a home on the other side

C
Swing, swing, swing

C
Well Ezekial was out in the middle of the field
Said he saw an angel with a chariot wheel
He wasn't too particular 'bout the chariot wheel
He just wanted to see how a chariot feels


CHORUS

C
Swing, swing, swing
C
Swing, swing, swing

C
Well Ezekial went down and he got onboard
The chariot went bumpin' on down the road
'Zeke wasn't too particular 'bout the bumpin' of the road
He just wanted to lay down his heavy load


CHORUS


CHORUS:
     C
Well I got a father in the Promised Land
    G7
And I ain't stoppin' 'til I shake his hand
C             F            C             Am
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord, calm and easy
        F           G     C
I got a home on the other side


CHORUS:
C
Swing down chariot stop and let me ride
G7
Swing down chariot stop and let me ride
C             F            C             Am
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord, calm and easy
        F           G     C    Am
I got a home on the other side
        F           G     C    Am
I got a home on the other side

I got a home on the other side
