Ellie & Joel's Song

Intro Em G Em 

 
[Verso 1]


            Em 
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger 
             Am                  B 
Traveling through this world of woe 
             Em 
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger 
          Am    B               Em 
In that bright land to which I go 



  
[Refrão]
          C              G 
I'm going there to see my mother 
                C              B 
She said she'd meet me when I come 
            Em 
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan 
            Am   B     Em 
I'm just a-goin' over home 



[Verso 1]

             Em 
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me 
           Am                 B 
I know my path is rough and steep 
                Em 
But beauteous fields lie just before me 
             Am           B      Em 
Where god's redeem their vigils keep 



[Refrão]

            C              G 
I'm going there to see my father 
            C                B 
I'm going there, no more to roam 
            Em 
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan 
            Am   B    Em 
I'm just a-goin' over home 

 
[Ponte]


               Em 
I'll soon be free from every trial 
           Am                    B 
This body rest in the ol’ churchyard 
                 Em 
I'll drop this cross of self-denial 
        Am           B  Em 
And go singing home to God 


   
[Refrão]
         C              G 
I'm going there to see my savior 
            C                B 
I'm going there, no more to roam 
            Em 
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan 
            Am   B     Em 
I'm just a-goin' over home 

Final 
            Em 
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan 
            Am    B    Em 
I'm just a-goin' over home 
            Am    B 
I'm just a-goin'
