Far Side Banks Of Jordan Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[Johnny] I believe my steps ar[C]e growing wearier each day
Still I've got another journey on my [F]mind
Lures of this old world have ceased to [C]make me wanna stay
And my one regret is leaving you be[F]hind.

(SAME)

[June] But if it proves to be his will that I am first to cross

And somehow I'll be feeling it will be

When it comes your time to travel like wise don't feel lost

For I will be the first one that you'll see.

[Both] [F]And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be [Bb]sitting drawing pictures in the [F]sand
And[C] when I see you coming I will [F]rise up with a shout
And come [Bb]running through the[F] shallow water r[C]eaching for your h[F]and.

[Johnny] Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare

It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes

[June] So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away

Until you come then we'll see paradise.

[Both] And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan

I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand

And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout

And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand.

I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan

I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand

And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
And come ru[F]nn[Bb]ing[F] through the shallow water reaching for your hand.
