[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _
[C] _ _ _ [Em] _ [D] _ _ _ _
[G] _ Jordan is waiting for [D] me to cross through.
[C] My [G] heart is aging, I can tell.
_ [D] _
[G] So Lord, I'm begging for one [D] last favor from you.
[G]
[C] Here's my heart, [G] take it where you will. _ _ _
This life has shown me [Em] how it's ended and how it's torn. _
[C] How it's okay to be lonely as [G] long as you're free.
_ [D] _
[G] Sometimes my ground was stony, [D] sometimes covered up in thorns.
[C] But only you can make it what it [G] has to be.
And now that [Am] it's done.
Well if they [Bm] treat me like a [G] pauper, [C] or if they dine on me [G] like a prince. _
[Am] If they lay [Bm] me with my fathers, [C] or if my ashes [D] scatter on the wind, I [G] don't care.
When I [Am] leave I'm gonna [G] go out [C] like Elijah.
[D] _
[Em] With the wool in the [D] mule, my [G] chariot [C] on fire.
[D] _
[G] When I look back on the stars, well it'll be like a [B] candlelight in [Em] Central Park.
[D] _ [A] [C] And it won't break my [G] heart to say goodbye. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] These people been friendly, but they'll never be a friend.
_ [C] Sometimes this has bent me to [D] the [G] ground.
_ _ But now that this is all ending, I [Em] wanna hear some music once again.
[C] Cause it's the finest thing I have [D] ever found.
_ [G] _ _ But the Jordan is waiting, though [Em] I ain't never seen the other [D] side.
_ [C] They say you can't take in the [D] things you have here.
_ _ [G] So on the road to salvation, I [Em] stick out my thumb and it gives me a ride.
[C] And this music is already [Am] falling [G] in my ears.
_ [Am] But these [G] people been talking, [C] and see they're worried about [G] my soul.
But [C] I'm here to tell you [G] I'll keep rocking, [C] till I'm sure it's my [D] time to roll.
[G] When I do, when I [Am] leave I'm gonna [G] go out [C] like Elijah.
[D] _ [Em] With the wool in the mule, [D] my [G] chariot [C] on fire.
[D] _ [G] And when I look back [C] on the stars, well [G] it'll be like a [B] candlelight in [Em] Central [A] Park.
[C] And it won't break my heart [G] to say goodbye.
When I [Am] leave I'm gonna [G] go out [C] like Elijah.
[D] _ [Em] With the wool in the mule, [D] my [G] chariot [C] on fire.
[D] _ [G] And when I look back [C] on the stars, well [G] it'll be like a [B] candlelight in [Em] Central Park.
_ [A] And [C] it won't break my heart [G] to say _ goodbye.
