              C                                  F 
I was standing by the bedside of a neighbor 
 
        C                                G7   D7  G7 
Who was bound to cross Jordan's swelling tide 
 
      C                             F 
And I asked him if he would do me a favor 
 
           C                 G7           C    F  C 
And kindly take this message to the other side 
 
 
                                       F 
If you see my Savior tell Him that you saw me 
 
                    C              G7  D7  G7 
Ah and when you saw me I was on my way 
 
         C                            F 
When you reach that golden city think about me 
 
             C               G7            C    F  C 
But don't forget to tell the Savior what I said 
 
 
                                           F 
Though you have to make the journey on without me 
 
            C                            G7   D7  G7 
Oh that's a debt sooner or later must be paid 
 
        C                                F 
You may see some old friends who may ask about me 
 
             C           G7              C    F  C 
Oh tell them I am coming home some sweet day 
 
 
                                   F 
I was standing by the bedside of a neighbor 
 
        C                                G7   D7  G7 
Who was bound to cross Jordan's swelling tide 
 
      C                             F 
And I asked him if he would do me a favor 
 
           C                 G7           Am 
And kindly take this message to the other side 
 
 
                 C                 G7           C    F  C 
Won't you kindly take this message to the other side 
 
 
                         F 
I was standing yes I was standing 
  
      C                      G7     D7  G7 
I was standing standing by a friend 
 
        C                    F 
Who was leaving to cross the Jordan 
 
              C                G7     C 
Where I wanna cross the Jordan in the end
