Verso 1:
Am
I'm Just a poor wayfaring stranger
Dm Am
traveling through this world of woe;
Am
But there's no pain toil or danger
Dm Em Am
In that fair land where I will go;
F C
I'm going there to see my father
F Em E
I'm going there no more to roam;
Am
I am going over Jordan
Dm Em Am
I'm going home I'm going home.
Verso 2:
Am
I know dark clouds will gather round me
Dm Am
I know my way is dark and steep;
Am
But there's a green field over yonder
Dm Em Am
where Gods redeemed their virgils keep;
F C
I'm going home to see my mother
F Em E
she said she'd meet me when I come;
Am
I am going over Jordan
Dm Em Am
I'm going home I'm going home.
Verso 3:
Am
I'll soon be free of every trial
Dm Am
this form shall rest beneath the sod;
Am
I'll drop the cross of self denial
Dm Em Am
and enter in that home with God;
F C
I'm going there to see my savior
F Em E
I'm going home no more to roam;
Am
I am going over Jordan
Dm Em Am
I'm going home I'm going home.
Dm Em Am
I'm going home ...... I'm goin home.
