[Intro]
Em G  Em
oh oh oh
A        Em
oh oh oh oh
[Verse 1]
       Em             G
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
          A                   Em
Traveling through, this world alone
           Em                 G
There's no sickness, toil nor danger
        A                       Em
In that bright land, to which I go
          Em              G
I'm going there to see my mother
          A                Em
I'm going there no more to roam
         Em         G
I'm only going over Jordan
         A          Em
I'm only going over home now
[Chorus]
            Em                 G
I know dark clouds will gather o'er me
          A                Em
I know my way is rough and steep
               Em               G
And the beautiful fields lie just beyond me
          A                Em
I know my way is rough and steep
           Em             G
I'm going there to see my mother
               A           Em
I'm going there no more to roam
         Em         G
I'm just going over Jordan
         A          Em
I'm just going over home
[Verse 2]
           Em             G
Cause I'm a poor wayfaring stranger
          A                   Em
Traveling through, this world alone
           Em                 Em
There's no sickness, toil or danger
        A                       Em
In that bright land, to which I go
          Em              Em
I'm going there to see my mother
          A                Em
I'm going there no more to roam
         Em         Em
I'm only going over Jordan
         A          Em
I'm only going o'er home now
