oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through, this world alone
There's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land, to which I go
I'm going there to see my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home now
(Beatbox Instrumental- , , , )
I know dark clouds will gather o'er me
I know my way is rough and steep
And the beautiful fields lie just beyond me
I know my way is rough and steep
I'm going there to see my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
A capella (No backing noise)
Cause I'm a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through, this world alone
There's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land, to which I go
I'm going there to see my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going o'er home now
To me it sounds pretty cowboyish, and you can be inventive with your Em's and A's and
add hammer ons or pulloffs to/from open string and such and take down the rhythm carefully
as it's a little odd. Maybe listening to Sheryl Crow's Redemption Day may help you get
into the swing of things.
Enjoy!
