Far Side Banks of Jordan
E|----------------------------------------------------|
Johnny Cash and June Carter
One of my sister's favorites...
[Verse 1]
(Johnny)
F C
I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
F
Still I've got another journey on my mind
C
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me wanna stay
F
And my one regret is leaving you behind.
[Verse 2]
(June)
F C
But if it proves to be his will that I am first to cross
F
And somehow I'll be feeling it will be
C
When it comes your time to travel like wise don't feel lost
F
For I will be the first one that you'll see.
[Chorus]
F
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
Bb F
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
C F
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
Bb F C F
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand.
[Verse 3]
F C
(Johnny) Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare
F
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
C
(June) So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
F
Until you come then we'll see paradise.
[Chorus]
F
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
Bb F
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
C F
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
Bb F C F
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand.
F
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
Bb F
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
C F
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
Bb F C F Bb F
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand.
