Waitin' on the Far Side Banks of Jordan Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I'll admit my steps are
[A]growing wearier each day
Still I've got a certain
journey on [D]my mind
Lures of this old world have ceased
to [A]make me want to stay
My one regret is leaving you [D]be- hind

[Verse 2]
[D]If it proves to be his will
[A]that I am first to cross
And somehow I've a feeling it will [D]be
When it comes your turn to travel
[A]likewise don't feel lost
For I will be the first one that [D]you'll see

[Verse 3]
And I'll be [D]waiting on the far
side banks of Jordan
I'll be [G]sitting drawing pictures in the [D]sand
And [A]when I see you coming I
will [D]rise up with a shout
And come [G]running through the [D]shallow water
[A]reaching for your [D]hand

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Through this life we've labored
[A]long to earn our meager fare
It's brought us trembling
hands and fail[D]ing eyes
So I'll just rest there on that shore
[A]an d turn my eyes away
Until you come then we'll see para- dise
[D]

[Verse 5]
And I'll be waiting on the far
side banks of Jordan
I'll be [G]sitting drawing pictures in the [D]sand
And [A]when I see you coming I
will [D]rise up with a shout
And come [G]running through the [D]shallow
water [A]reaching for your [D]hand

[Verse 6]
And I'll be [D]waiting on the far
side banks of Jordan
I'll be [G]sitting drawing pictures in the [D]sand
And [A]when I see you coming I
will [D]rise up with a shout
And come [G]running through the [D]shallow
water [A]reaching for your hand
[D]
