I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger (1917 OST)

Tone:[G]

 

[Em] [Em] [Am] [Em]

([Bm] [Em])x2 ([Em] [G])x2

[Bm] [Em] [Am] [Em]

 

I am a poor[Em] wayfaring [Em]stranger

I'm travellin' [Am]through this world of [Em]woe

Yet there's no [Em]sickness, toil, nor [Em]danger

In that bright [Am]land to which I[Em] go

 

I'm going [C]there to see my [G]Father

I'm going [C]there, no more to [G]roam

I'm only [Bm]going over [Em]Jordan

I'm only [Am]going over [Em]home

 

I know dark [Em]clouds will gather 'round [Em]me

I know my [Am]way is rough and [Em]steep

But golden [Em]fields lie just before [Em]me

Where God's re-[Am]deemed shall ever [Em]sleep

 

I'm going [C]home to see my mo-[G]ther

And all my [C]loved ones who've [G]gone on

I'm only [Bm]going over [Em]Jordan

I'm only [Am]going over [Em]home

 

I am a poor[Em] wayfarin' [Em]stranger

I'm travellin'[Am] through this world of [Em]woe

Yet there's no[Em] sickness, toil, nor [Em]danger

In that bright [Am]land to which I [Em]go

 

I'm going [C]there to see my [G]Father

I'm going [C]there, no more to [G]roam

I'm only [Bm]going over [Em]Jordan

I'm only [Am]going over [Em]home
