Wayfaring Stranger - Bill Monroe Chords
Chords: Em, Am, B7, E
More chords by Bill Monroe
Genre: bluegrass, country, folk
The original is in G minor, tuned flat so it's close to F# minor.
To match the original recording, tune slightly flat and put a capo on the 3rd
fret. This brings Em up to Gm.
Lyrics changed slightly from his version, because I like these more. :)
Slow, boomchucka swing.
[Intro]
Em
Em
[Verse 1]
Em
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Am Em
Travelling through this world alone
Em
There is no sickness, no toil, or danger
Am B7 Em E
In that bright land, to which I go
[Chorus]
E
I'm going home, to see my mother
E
I'm going home, no more to roam
Em
Oh I'm just going over Jordan
Am B7 Em
I am just going over home
[Instrumental]
Em
Am
Em
Em
Am B7 Em
[Verse 2]
Em
I know dark clouds will gather round me
Am Em
And I know my way is rough and steep
Em
Yet golden fields lie just before me
Am B7 E
Where weary eyes no more will weep
[Chorus]
E
I'm going home, to see my father
E
I'm going home, no more to roam
