Poor Man's Poison – Wayfaring Stranger chords

[Intro]
Am  x 8

[Verse 1]
       Am
I am a poor
          Am
Wayfaring stranger
                 Dm
While travelling through
              Am
This world of woe
               Am
Yet there's no sickness
            Am
No toil, no danger
        Dm
In that bright world
E7          Am
 To which I go


[Chorus]
          F
I'm going there
          C
To see my father
          F
I'm going there
           C    E7
No more to roam
         Am
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm   E7     Am
I'm only going  over home


[Verse 2]
            Am
I know dark clouds
            Am
Will gather round me
         Dm
I know my way
             Am
Is rough and steep
           Am
Yet golden fields
           Am
Lie just before me
              Dm
Where souls redeemed
E7            Am
  Shall ever sleep


[Chorus]
          F
I'm going there
          C
To see my father
          F
I'm going there
           C    E7
No more to roam
         Am
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm   E7     Am
I'm only going  over home


** crescendo of song starts to build here **

[Verse 3]
            Am
I want to wear
              Am
That crown of glory
           Dm
When I get home
             Am
To that good land
           Am
I want to shout down
         Am
Satan's story
          Dm
In concert with
E7               Am
the blood washed band


[Chorus]
          F
I'm going there
          C
To see my father
             F
He said he'd meet me
           C    E7
When I come home
         Am
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm   E7     Am
I'm only going  over home


*** rhythm of song changes and crescendo builds ***

[Chorus]
          F
I'm going there
          C
To see my father
          F
He said he'd meet me
           C    E7
When I come home


** rhythm changes back and crescendo backs off **

         Am
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm   E7     Am
I'm only going  over home
         Am
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm   E7     Am
I'm only going  over home
         Dm   E7     Am    Am E7 Am
I'm only going  over home
