Wayfaring Stanger


Intro Dm 1st Verse: Dm I am a poor wayfaring stranger G Dm Travelin' through this world alone There is no sickness toil nor danger G Dm In that fair land to which I go Chorus: Dm I'm goin' home to see my mother (2nd chorus says father, 3rd says saviour) Am I'm goin' home no more to roam Dm I am just goin' over Jordan G Am Dm I am just goin' over home Dm G Dm G Dm 2nd Verse: I know dark clouds will hover o'er me I know my pathway is rough and steep What golden fields lie out before me Where weary eyes no more will weap Chorus: 3rd Verse: I'll soon be free from every trial This form shall rest beneath the sun I'll drop that cross of self denial And enter in that home with God Chorus: This is a pretty simple song done by a lot of people, but I didn't see Jack White's version in Dm so I wrote it out... that being said, there is a guy on youtube who calls himself the Bard of Cornwall and plays a mandolin version that sounds great on guitar as well and goes like this... Intro: Bb Am Dm 1st Verse: Dm Gm Dm I am a poor wayfaring stranger Gm Dm Travelin' through this world alone F Bb There is no sickness toil nor danger Gm Am Dm In that fair land to which I go Chorus: Dm Gm Dm I'm goin' home to see my mother (2nd chorus says father, 3rd says saviour) Am I'm goin' home no more to roam Dm Gm Dm I am just goin' over Jordan Bb Am Dm I am just goin' over home Bb Am Dm Same words, and repeat the first verse after the third chorus followed by the first chours...and as far as I'm concerend you can swith out the G for a Gm in Jack White's version and it will still sound sweet..
