[Intro]
| Am  | Am  | Am  | Am  |
| Dm  | E   | Am  | Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
            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
E           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 E        Am
I'm just going over home
 
 
[Instrumental]
| Am  | Am  | Am  | Am  |
| Dm  | Dm  | Am  | Am  |
| Am  | Am  | Am  | Am  |
| Dm  | E   | Am  | Am
 
 
[Verse 2]
             Am
I know dark clouds
 
Will gather round me
          Dm
I know my way
             Am
Is hard and steep
 
But beauteous fields
 
Arise before me
              Dm
Where God's redeemed
E              Am
 Their vigils keep
 
 
[Chorus]
            F
I'm going there
           C
To see my mother
                F
She said she'd meet me
        E  E7 E
When I come
             Am
So I'm just going over Jordan
         Dm E        Am
I'm just going over home
          Am
I'm just going over Jordan
         Dm E       Am
I'm just going over home...

You did a good job, but the verse should end like this.. Dm IN THAT BRIGHT LAND E Am TO WHICH I GO And this is how Johnny picks it, at least as I can hear. [tab] Intro: Am e|-------------------------------------0--- B|---------------1--(1)------------1------- G|-----------------2-----------------2----- D|-------2-2---------------2-2------------- A|---0-----------------0------------------- E|------------0-----------------0----------x2 Dm E e|---------1---------1---1--------------------0--------- B|-------3-------------3---------------0---------0---0-- G|------------2---------------------1--------------1---- D|---0----------------------------2--------------------- A|---------------0------------------------2------------- E|----------------------------0------------------------- Am e|-------------------------------------0--- B|---------------1--(1)------------1------- G|-----------------2-----------------2----- D|-------2-2---------------2-2------------- A|---0-----------------0------------------- E|------------0-----------------0---------- [/tab] I might make a complete tab some day, and upload it here if I bother.
