Far Side Banks Of Jordan

D

[Verse 1]

D                               A
I'll admit my steps are growing wearier each day
                                     D
Still I've got certain journey on my mind
                                           A
The lures of this old world have ceased to make me wanna stay
                                   D
And my one regret is leaving you behind

[Verse 2]

D                                A
If it proves to be his will that I'm first to cross
                                    D
And somehow I'll be feeling it will be
                                  A
When it comes your turn to travel likewise don't feel lost
                                        D
For I will be the first one that you'll see

[Chorus]

            D
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
        G                               D
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
    A                            D
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
         G                   D             A                 D
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand

[Interlude]

G  D  A  D

[Verse 3]

D                                       A
Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare
                                            D
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
                                         A
So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
                                  D
Until you come then we'll see paradise

[Chorus]

            D
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
        G                               D
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
    A                            D
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
         G                   D             A                 D
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand

[Outro-Chorus]

       (D)
I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
        G                               D
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
    A                            D
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
         G                   D             A                 D
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand
         G                   D             A                 G   D   D A7 D
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand
