I am a poor wayfaring stranger
F minorFm Cmaj7Cmaj7 Bb9Bb9
Traveling through all these highs and lows

I heard there was no sickness
AbAb Bb majorBb
And no toil or danger

Just mercy and plenty
F minorFm
Where peaceful waters flow

Where peaceful waters flow

Verse:
F minorFm C9C9
Come all you fair and tender school girls
F minorFm Cmaj7Cmaj7 Bb9Bb9
Be careful now--when you court young men
FF
They are like the stars
AbAb Bb majorBb
On a summer morning
FF
They sparkle up the night
F minorFm
And they're gone again
C9C9
Daybreak--gone again

Verse:
F minorFm C9C9
If I'd only seen through the silky veils of ardor
F minorFm Cmaj7Cmaj7 Bb9Bb9
What a killing crime this love can be
FF
I would have locked up my heart
AbAb Bb majorBb
In a golden sheath of armor
FF
And kept its crazy beating
F minorFm
Under strictest secrecy
C9C9
High security

Verse:
F minorFm
I wish I had the wings
C9C9
Of Noah's pretty little white dove
F minorFm Cmaj7Cmaj7
So I could fly this raging river
Bb9Bb9
To reach the one I love
FF
But I have no wings
AbAb Bb majorBb
And the water is so wide
FF
We'll have to row a little harder
F minorFm
It's just in dreams we fly
C9C9
In my dreams we fly!
