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. During the chorus, play the full chords.
