[Verse]
Cm
Im a poor wayfaring stranger
Fm Cm
While traveling thru this world of woe

Yet theres no sickness, toil, or danger
Fm Cm
In that bright world to which I go

[Chorus]
Ab Eb
Im going there to see my Father
Ab Cm G7
Im going there no more to roam
Cm
Im only going over Jordan
Fm Cm
Im only going over home

[Solo]

[Verse]
Cm
I know dark clouds will hang round me,
Fm Cm
I know my way is rough and steep

Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Fm Cm
Where Gods redeemed their virgils keep

[Chorus]
Ab Eb
Im going there to see my mother
Ab Cm G7
She said shed meet me when I come
Cm
I'm only going over Jordan
Fm Cm
I'm only going over home

[Solo]
