WAYFARING STRANGER
Emmylou Harris (Roses in the Snow)
CAPO: 5
Em
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
                Am                    Em
While traveling through this world of woe
                                 A7
Yet there's no sickness toil nor danger
               Am    D          Em
In that bright world to which I go
          C               G
I'm going there to see my Father
          C     G          B7
I'm going there no more to roam
         Em
I'm only going over Jordan
         Am    B7   Em
I'm only going over home
Em
I know dark clouds will gather round me
          Am               Em
I know my way is rough and steep
                            A7
Yet beauteous fields rise before me
           Am           D       Em
Where Gods redeem their vigil's keep
          C               G
I'm going there to see my mother
               C    G         B7
She said she'd meet me when I come
         Em
I'm only going over Jordan
         Am         Em
I'm only going over home
