Burl Ives – Wayfaring Stranger chords

[Verse 1]
           Am                                 I'm Just a poor wayfaring stranger 
          Dm                    Amtraveling 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   EI'm going there no more to roam;
     Am                          I am going over Jordan 
          Dm   Em           AmI'm going home    I'm going home.
 

[Verse 2]
       Am                                           I know dark clouds will gather round me
          Dm              AmI know my way is dark and steep;
              Am                                    But there's a green field over yonder 
             Dm     Em               Amwhere Gods redeemed    their virgils keep;
          F              C                      I'm going home to see my mother
               F              Em   Eshe said she'd meet me when I come;
     Am                          I am going over Jordan 
          Dm   Em           AmI'm going home    I'm going home.

             Am                                   I'll soon be free of every trial
                Dm               Amthis form shall rest beneath the sod;
               Am                            I'll drop the cross of self denial 
          Dm  Em                Amand enter in     that home with God;
          F               C                I'm going there to see my savior 
          F               Em   EI'm going home no more to roam;
     Am                          I am going over Jordan
          Dm   Em           AmI'm going home    I'm going home.
          Dm     Em             AmI'm going home ......  I'm goin home.
