THE FAR SIDE BANKS OF JORDAN
(Terry Smith)
Key = F#
Intro: F# F# F# F#
F# C#7
I'll admit my steps are growing wearier each day
F#
Still I've got a certain journey on my mind
C#7
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay
F#
My one regret is leaving you behind
F# C#7
If it proves to be his will that I am first to cross
F#
And somehow I've a feeling it will be
C#7
When it comes your turn to travel likewise 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
F#7 B F#
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
C#7 F#
And when I see you coming, I will rise up with a shout
B F# C#7 F#
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand
Lead Break: B - F# - C#7 - F# - F#
F# C#7
Through this life we've laboured long to earn our meagre fare
F#
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
C#7
So I'll just rest there on that shore and turn my eyes away
F#
Until you come then we'll see paradise
Repeat chorus x 2
