[Verse 1]
DmI am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling Gthrough this world of Dmwoe
DmThere is no sickness, toil or danger
In that fair Gland Ato which I Dmgo
[Chorus]
I'm going Bbhome to see my Fmother
I'm going Bbhome no more tAo roam A A7
[Verse 2]
*or
T3
A7I'm just gDmoing over Jordan I'm just GgoiAng over DmhomeDmI know dark clouds will hover on me
I know my pGath is rough and Dmsteep
DmBut golden fields lie out before me
Where weary Geyes Ano more shall Dmweep
[Chorus]
I'm going Bbhome to see my Ffather
I'm going Bbhome no more tAo roam A A7
[Verse 3]
*or
T3
A7I'm just gDmoing over Jordan I'm just GgoiAng over DmhomeDmI'll soon be free from every trial
This form shall Grest beneath the Dmsun
DmI'll drop the cross of self-denial
And enter Gin Aat home with DmGod
[Chorus]
I'm going Bbhome to meet my Fsaviour
I'm going Bbhome no more to rAoam A A7
*or
T3
I'm just Dmgoing over Jordan I'm just GgoAing over Dmhome AI'm going Bbhome to meet my Fsaviour
I'm going Bbhome no more to rAoam A A7
If you want to add more fingerstyle to it, the tabs are taken (as best as possible in the absence of a live
recording for now) from the banjo melody.
During the verses, it alternates between T1 and T2.
