Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

1st Verse:

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Travelin' through this world alone

There is no sickness toil nor danger

In that fair land to which I go

Chorus

I'm goin' home to see my mother (2nd chorus says father, 3rd says saviour)

I'm goin' home no more to roam

I am just goin' over Jordan

I am just goin' over home

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...

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..
