[E]
I believe my steps [B] are growing wearier each day.
Got another journey on my [E] mind.
Lures of this old world have ceased [B] to make me want to stay.
And my one regret is leaving [E] you behind.
But if it proves to be his will [B] that I am first to cross,
and somehow I've a feeling it will [E] be.
When it comes your time to travel [B] like wise don't feel lost.
For I will be the first one that [E] you'll see.
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan.
[F#m] [E] I'll be [A] sitting drawing pictures [E] in the sand.
[B] And when I see you coming [E] I will rise up with a shout.
And [A] come running [E] through the shallow water [B] reaching for [E] your hand.
Through this life we labor hard [B] to earn our meager fare.
It's brought us trembling hands and [E] failing eyes.
So I'll just rest here on this shore [B] and turn my eyes away.
Until you come then we'll see [E] paradise.
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan.
I'll [A] be sitting drawing [B] pictures in [E] the sand.
[B] And when I see you coming I [E] will rise up with a shout.
[G#] And [A] come running through [E] the shallow [B] water reaching for [E] your hand.
[A] Your [E] hand.
I believe my steps [B] are growing wearier each day.
Got another journey on my [E] mind.
Lures of this old world have ceased [B] to make me want to stay.
And my one regret is leaving [E] you behind.
But if it proves to be his will [B] that I am first to cross,
