Verse 1:
      A minorAm
I'm Just a poor wayfaring stranger
     DmDm          A minorAm
traveling through this world of woe;
        A minorAm
But there's no pain toil or danger
       DmDm  E minorEm       A minorAm
In that fair land  where I will go;
     FF        C majorC
I'm going there to see my father
     FF        E minorEm  E MajorE
I'm going there no more to roam;
   A minorAm
I am going over Jordan
     DmDm  E minorEm      A minorAm
I'm going home  I'm going home.

Verse 2:
    A minorAm
I know dark clouds will gather round me
     DmDm       A minorAm
I know my way is dark and steep;
       A minorAm
But there's a green field over yonder
       DmDm   E minorEm        A minorAm
where Gods redeemed  their virgils keep;
     FF       C majorC
I'm going home to see my mother
        FF       E minorEm  E MajorE
she said she'd meet me when I come;
   A minorAm
I am going over Jordan
     DmDm  E minorEm      A minorAm
I'm going home  I'm going home.


Verse 3:
       A minorAm
I'll soon be free of every trial
        DmDm        A minorAm
this form shall rest beneath the sod;
        A minorAm
I'll drop the cross of self denial
     DmDm E minorEm        A minorAm
and enter in   that home with God;
     FF        C majorC
I'm going there to see my savior
     FF        E minorEm  E MajorE
I'm going home no more to roam;
   A minorAm
I am going over Jordan
     DmDm  E minorEm      A minorAm
I'm going home  I'm going home.
     DmDm   E minorEm       A minorAm
I'm going home ...... I'm goin home.
