Wayfaring Stranger - The Longest Johns

[Verse 1]
Dm
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
G Dm
Travelling through this world of woe
Dm
There is no sickness, toil or danger
G A Dm
In that fair land to which I go
[Chorus]
Bb F
I'm going home to see my mother
Bb A A A7 *or T3
I'm going home no more to roam
A7 Dm
I'm just going over Jordan
G A Dm
I'm just going over home
[Verse 2]
Dm
I know dark clouds will hover on me
G Dm
I know my path is rough and steep
Dm
But golden fields lie out before me
G A Dm
Where weary eyes no more shall weep
[Chorus]
Bb F
I'm going home to see my father
Bb A A A7 *or T3
I'm going home no more to roam
A7 Dm
I'm just going over Jordan
G A Dm
I'm just going over home
[Verse 3]
Dm
I'll soon be free from every trial
G Dm
This form shall rest beneath the sun
Dm
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
G A Dm
And enter in at home with God
[Chorus]
Bb F
I'm going home to meet my saviour
Bb A A A7 *or T3
I'm going home no more to roam
Dm
I'm just going over Jordan
G A Dm A
I'm just going over home
Bb F
I'm going home to meet my saviour
Bb A A A7 *or T3
I'm going home no more to roam
Dm
I'm just going over Jordan
G A Dm
I'm just going over home
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.
