Wayfaring Stranger  -  Jack White

Dm   G   Dm

Dm
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
          G                   Dm
Travelin' through this world alone

There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
        G                    Dm
In that fair land to which I go

          Bb             F
I'm going home to see my Mother
          Bb               A7    
I'm going home, no more to roam
          Dm
I am just goin' over Jordan
          G     Gm   Dm
I am just goin' over home

Dm
I know dark clouds will hover o'er me
          G                    Dm
I know my pathway is rough and steep

But golden fields ly out before me
            G                  Dm
Where weary eyes, no more will weep

          Bb             F
I'm going home to see my Father
          Bb               A7    
I'm going home, no more to roam
          Dm
I am just goin' over Jordan
          G     Gm   Dm
I am just goin' over home

Dm
Oh to be free from every trial
                G                Dm
This form shall rest beneath the sun

I'll drop the cross of self denial
          G                 Dm
and enter in that home with God

          Bb             F
I'm goin' home to see my savior
                Bb                 A7                   
Who spilled his precious blood for me
          Dm
I am just goin' over Jordan
          G     Gm   Dm
I am just goin' over home


G  = 320033 Gm = 355333
A7 = 002020 &  = 002023
Bb = 113331 F  = 133211
Dm = x00231 &  = 557765

My interpretation of this classic song for a lone acoustic, 
he mostly uses the Dm and G in his YouTube performance. To the
purists, sorry! To all the rest, enjoy!
