I'm just a [C] poor wayfaring [D] stranger
[Cm]
[C] [D] Traveling through [C]
this world
[D] [C]
There's [D] no [C]
sickness, toil, [D] nor sorrow
[C]
In that [D] bright [C] world to which [D] I go
[C] I'm going [D] there, [C]
see [D] my [C] father
I'm going [D] there, [C]
no more [D] to roam
[C]
I'm to [D] stay [C]
going [D] over Jordan
[C]
I'm to [D] stay [C] going [D] over home
[C]
See [Am] I'm a concrete buffalo soldier
I got a chip, it's like a [C] boulder on my [Am] shoulder
Look in my eyes and you can see a red marble
Like Nostradamus, I'm the promise [Ab] of tomorrow
[D] Traveling the sea [Am] with my [C] Mexican [D] cargo
Cutting off, [C] I take a dry [D] swallow
Give the [C] nearest cooler water in the hole
[D] The bartender with the [C] deed from my soul
[D] Satisfaction, [C] no I ain't get [D] no lots of bad habits
[C] That I need to [D] control
We cite the [Am] Psalms with [C] no [Dm] emancipation
Church for food [Cm] and liquor [C] store for [E] salvation
Someday I'll meet [C] at home to my [D] father
He saw the man who [C] shot the coal miner's [D] daughter
And if I had a [C] dime for every gamble I risk
[D] I could buy a diamond from the woman I miss
I'm just a poor, [C]
wayfaring [D] soldier
[C] I check on the needy, be checking [E] on the dorm
I'm just [C] a poor, wayfaring [F] soldier
Roaming the [A] streets, in case I see him
I'm going [D] there, [C]
[D] [C]
since [D] she need [C]
me
Then [D] I come, [C]
I'm to [D] stay going [C]
over [D] Jordan
[C]
I'm to [D] stay going [C]
[D] over [C]
[D] [C] Jordan
[D] [C]
[D] [C]
[D]
[C] [D] She ain't it funny, [Am] how time slips away
I wanna rewind the tape [C] to see my life [E] replay
I soak up [Am] the sun, just as a reminder
That I was born a stick [D] sidewinder
Call me a [C] vagrant, no machine to read your [A] facts
I never pledged allegiance [C] to your blood, sweat and [D] taxes
Don't ever [C] mistake me being docile for [Dm] contentment
Don't ever mistake my [C] anger for [D] resentment
It's true to call [C] me foolish, this woman's why I'm quiet
[D] She always mistaken [C] and uprising for a race [D] riot
She took my life, [C] but there's no escape
[Am] Cause you can't shoot your bullet through the [F] pearly gates
[D] So swing low, [Cm] sweet [D] Cadillac
Coming for to carry [C] me home
[Dm] Swing low, [C] pink [D] Cadillac
Stepping over Jordan [F] I roam
You [D] see, I'm just a poor, [C]
wayfaring [D] soldier
I [E] check with the [C] needy, be checking on [E] the dorm
I'm just a [C] poor, wayfaring [D] soldier
[A] Just [Eb] a, just a, just a
I'm going [D] there, [C]
see [D] my father
[C]
I'm [D] going there, [C] no more
[D] Home [C]
to [A] stay, [C] nowhere
[D] Home to stay Jordan
