Song:  Wayfaring Stranger
By:    Eva Cassidy

[intro:] Bbm  Ebm  Bbm 
         Bbm  Gb   F   Bbm  {stop}

[verse: 1]
Bbm           
I am a poor
Wayfaring stranger
                    Ebm
While journeying through
              Bbm
This world of woe
Yet there's no sickness 
In this toil nor danger
                Gb
In that bright land
 F         Bbm
To which I go

[chorus:]
           Gb               Bbm
I'm going there, to see my Father
           Gb                F
I'm going there, no more to roam
         Gb                 Bbm
I'm only going, going over Jordan
         Gb       F         Bbm       {stop}
I'm only going, going over home

[verse: 2]
              Bbm
I know dark clouds
Will gather on me
          Ebm
I know my way
                     Bbm
My way is rough and steep
Yeah, and beautiful fields
Lie just before me
            Gb
And God's redeemed
 F            Bbm
Their vigils keep

[chorus:]
           Gb               Bbm
I'm going there, to see my Father
           Gb                F
I'm going there, no more to roam
         Gb               Bbm
I'm only go,  going over Jordan
         Gb     F         Bbm      
I'm only go,  going over home


[solo: guitar]   {same chords as verse}

[chorus:] 
           Gb               Bbm
I'm going there, to see my Mother
           Gb                F
I'm going there, no more to roam
         Gb                Bbm
I'm only go,  going over Jordan
         Gb     F         Bbm      {stop} 
I'm only go,  going over home

[verse: 3]
          Bbm
I want to wear
That crown of glory
            Ebm
When I get home
              Bbm
To that good land
Well, I want to shout
             Ebm
Salvation's story
            Gb
In concert with
 F                   Bbm  
All the blood-washed band

[chorus:]
           Gb               Bbm
I'm going there, to see my Savior
           Gb                F
I'm going there, no more to roam
         Gb                Bbm
I'm only go,  going over Jordan
         Gb     F         Bbm     
I'm only go,  going over home

[coda:]
