I'm the poor wayfaring stranger
           Dsus2 Dm             Am
Traveling through this world below (of woe)
Yet there's no sickness, no toil, nor danger
                Dsus2    Dm   Am
In that bright world to which I go

--- C/g   F Fsus2         C   C/g  C
I'm going there to see my Father
C/g   F  C C/g         Em   E7
I'm going there no more to roam
               Am
I'm only goin' over Jordan
               Dsus2 E7   Am
I'm only goin' over home

Solo (instrumental verse)

 Am
I know dark clouds will gather around me
           Dsus2 Dm         Am
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beautiful fields lie just before me
             Dsus2 Dm       Dm  Am
Where God's redeemed, their vigil keep


--- C/g   F Fsus2         C   C/g  C
I'm going there to see my Mother
C/g        F       C  C/g Em   E7 -
She said she'd meet me when I come
               Am
I'm only goin' over Jordan
               Dsus2 E7   Am
I'm only goin' over home

The bass is mostly played with the right palm half-muting the strings.
Also a lot of strummed right palm muting (percussion effect) all over.
Fret killer, capo 4th.
