[Verse 1]
        Cm
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
                Fm                     Cm
While traveling through this world of woe
                Cm
Yet there's no sickness, toil, or danger
               Fm               Cm
In that bright world to which I go
 
 
[Chorus]
           Ab              Eb
I'm going there to see my Father
           Ab       Cm      G7
I'm going there no more to roam
          Cm
I'm only going over Jordan
          Fm         Cm
I'm only going over home

[Verse 2]
             Cm
I know dark clouds will head around me,
          Fm               Cm
I know my way is rough and steep
               Cm
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
              Fm                  Cm
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
 
 
[Chorus]
           Ab              Eb
I'm going there to see my mother
                Ab      Cm     G7
She said she'd meet me when I come
          Cm
I'm only going over Jordan
          Fm         Cm
I'm only going over home
 
 
[Solo]
