The Chords Used:
Am
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Dm Am
While traveling through this world of woe
D7
Yet there's no sickness toil nor danger

In that bright world to which I go
F C
I'm going there to see my Father
F C E7
I'm going there no more to roam
Am
I'm only going over Jordan
Dm E7 Am
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me
Dm Am
I know my way is rough and steep
D7
Yet beauteous fields rise before me
Dm G Am
Where God redeems their vigil's keep
F C
I'm going there to see my mother

I'm only going over Jordan
Dm Am
I'm only going over home
