Start Jamming...
[E] I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm [A] traveling through
[G] [Em]
Yet there's no [B] [Am] sickness, [Em]
toil, nor [E] danger
In that [A] bright land to [G] which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more [Em] to roam
I'm only [Bm] going [Em] over [E] Jordan
[Am] I'm only going over [E] home
I know dark [B]
plains [N] will gather round me
I know my way [A]
is rough and [Em] steep
But golden [B] fields [E] lie just before me
Where [Am] God's redeemed shall ever [E] sleep
[D] I'm [G] going home to see my mother
And all my
[F#] loved [G] ones [B] who've gone on
[F] I'm [G] only [Em]
going over Jordan
I'm only [F#] [A] going [E]
over home
[B]
I am a poor [A] wayfaring [Em] stranger
I'm traveling [A] through this [Em] world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright [A]
land to which I go
[E] I'm going there [Am] to [Em] see my father
I'm going there [G] no more [E] to roam
[B] [C]
I'm [E] only going over Jordan
I'm only [C] going [Em] over [E] home
