I am a poor, wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world alone

And there's no sickness, toil, or danger

In that bright land to which I go

Chorus 1

And I'm going there to see my mother

And I'm going there no more to roam

And I'm only going over Jordan

And I'm only going over home now

Verse 2

And I know dark clouds, will gather me

And I know my way is rough and steep

And the beautiful fields lie just beyond me

And I know my needs are rough and steep

And I'm going there to see my mother

And I'm going there no more to roam

And I'm only going over Jordan

And I'm only going over home now

'Cause I am a poor, wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world alone

And there's no sickness, toil, or danger

In that bright land to which I go

Chorus 3

And I'm going there to see my mother

And I'm going there no more to roam

And I'm only going over Jordan

And I'm only going over home now

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
