POOR WAYFARIN' STRANGER


  Am
I Am A Poor Wayfarin' Stranger
          Dm                    Am
Wanderin' Through This World Of Woe

And There's No Sickness, No Toil, Or Danger
               Dm            Am
In That Bright Land To Which I Go



          Dm7                  C
I'm Going There To Meet My Mother
               Dm7          C  E
She Said She'd Meet Me Over Home
           Am
I'm Only Going Over Jordan
       Dm          Am
I Only Going Over Home


     Am
I'll Soon Be Free From Every Trial
        Dm                      Am
My Body Asleep In The Old Grave Yard

I'll Drop The Cross Of Self Denial
          Dm             Am
And Enter On My Great Reward


          Dm7                  C
I'm Going There To Meet My Sister
               Dm7          C  E
She Said She'd Meet Me Over Home
           Am
I'm Only Going Over Jordan
       Dm          Am
I Only Going Over Home


  Am
I Am A Poor Wayfarin' Stranger
          Dm                    Am
Wanderin' Through This World Of Woe

And There's No Sickness, No Toil, Or Danger
        Dm                     Am
In That Bright Land To Which I Go




          Dm7                  C
I'm Going There To Meet My Mother
               Dm7          C  E
She Said She'd Meet Me Over Home
           Am
I'm Only Going Over Jordan
       Dm          Am
I Only Going Over Home
