The Way Worn Traveler Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE]
I s[G]aw a way worn traveler in t[D]attered garments c[G]lad,
And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that [D]he was s[G]ad.
His back was laden heavy, his [D]strength was almost g[G]one,
It shouted as he journeyed, ''Delive[D]rance will [G]come!"

[CHORUS]
[G]Then palms of victory, [D]crowns of [G]glory,
Palms of victory [D]I shall wear.
The [G]summer sun was shining, the[D] sweat was on his [G]brow,
His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed [D]very slo[G]w.
But he kept pressing onward, [D]for he was wending ho[G]me,
Still shouting as he journeyed, "Delive[D]rance will [G]come!"

[CHORUS]
[G]Then palms of victory, [D]crowns of [G]glory,
Palms of victory [D]I shall wear.
The so[G]ngstress in the arbor, that [D]stood beside the w[G]ay,
Attracted his attention, inviting [D]his dela[G]y.
His watchword being "Onward!" he s[D]topped his ears and r[G]an,
Still shouting as he journeyed, ''Delive[D]rance will [G]come!"

[CHORUS]
[G]Then palms of victory, [D]crowns of [G]glory,
Palms of victory [D]I shall wear.
While [G]gazing on that city, just o[D]'er that narrow fl[G]ood
A band of holy angels came from the thr[D]one of G[G]od.
They bore him on their pinions, the[D]y bore the dashing fo[G]am,
And joined him in his triumph, "Deliv[D]erance has [G]come!"

[CHORUS]
[G]Then palms of victory, [D]crowns of [G]glory,
Palms of victory [D]I shall wear.
