WAYFARING  STRANGER
                            JOHNNY CASH

INTRO:  Am  Dm  Am

VERSE:
      Am
      I'M JUST A POOR 
      WAYFARING STRANGER
                   Dm
      TRAVELLING THROUGH
                   Am
      THIS WORLD BELOW
      THERE IS NO SICKNESS
      NO TOIL, NOR DANGER
                      Dm
      IN THAT BRIGHT LAND
                 Am
      TO WHICH I GO

CHORUS:
                  F
      I'M GOING THERE
                 C
      TO SEE MY FATHER
                  F
      AND ALL MY LOVED ONES
                  E  E7 E
      WHO'VE GONE ON
                Am
      I'M JUST GOING OVER JORDAN
                Dm         Am
      I'M JUST GOING OVER HOME

INSTRUMENTAL:   Am  Dm  Am      Am  Dm  Am 

VERSE:
      I KNOW DARK CLOUDS
      WILL GATHER ROUND ME
      I KNOW MY WAY
      IS HARD AND STEEP
      BUT BEAUTIOUS FIELDS
      ARISE BEFORE ME
      WHERE GOD REDEEMS
      THERE VIDUALS KEEP

CHORUS:
      I'M GOING BACK
      TO SEE MY MOTHER
      SHE SAID SHE'D MEET ME
      WHEN I COME
      SO I'M JUST GOING OVER JORDAN
      I'M JUST GOING OVER HOME
      I'M JUST GOING OVER JORDAN
                           Am -- end dead on this chord
      I'M JUST GOING OVER HOME
      
Enjoy!

The words to the second verse are garbled here: I think the last line is "their vigils keep"; this is how the sheet music that I'm looking at, for the Michael Key arrangement, has it. It also has the preceding line as "where souls redeem" which makes a little more sense of who "they" are. The lyrics here differ in other particulars from the M. Key arrangement; but, at any rate, the end of the second verse as rendered in this tab here makes no sense.
