THE SHORES OF JORDAN
[Verse 1]
C
I looked up into heaven,
F C
I thought I'd solve life's mysteries.
C G
I observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny.
C
But the rhyme of life confounds me,
F C
Things will be as things will be.
C G C
So I'll just dance the shores of Jordan 'till the angels carry me.
[Chorus]
F C
I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite song,
C D G
'Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long.
C F C
And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be,
C G C
So I'll just dance the shores of Jordan 'till the angels carry me.
[Verse 2]
C
I travelled to a prison,
F
Saw my share of shattered dreams.
C G C
Were the tables slightly tilted I could be bound they could be free.
C
But I believe no tear goes wasted,
F
And so I fell there on my knees.
C G C
And vowed I'd dance the shores of Jordan 'till the angels carried me.
[Chorus]
F C
I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite song,
C D G
'Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long.
C F C
And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be,
C G C
So I'll just dance the shores of Jordan 'till the angels carry me.
[Verse 3]
C F
I saw a weary traveller heading down a dusty road.
C G C
I said, "Friend please may I help you, it seems you haul a heavy load."
F
And he said, "Although my burden's heavy, in my heart I'm travelling light.
C G C
So I can cross old river Jordan when I'm called to the other side."
[Chorus]
F C
I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite song,
C D G
'Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long.
C F C
And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be,
C G C
So I'll just dance the shores of Jordan 'till the angels carry me.
