Version 1Far Side Banks of Jordan ____________________________________________________ Johnny Cash and June Carter written by Terry Smith (--.allmusic-/artist/terry-smith-mn0003365287) --.-/watch?ds49aYpM9nZwNJlo One of my sister's favorites... [Verse 1] (Johnny) F C I believe my steps are growing wearier each day F Still I've got another journey on my mind C Lures of this old world have ceased to make me wanna stay F And my one regret is leaving you behind. [Verse 2] (June) F C But if it proves to be his will that I am first to cross F And somehow I'll be feeling it will be C When it comes your time to travel like wise don't feel lost F For I will be the first one that you'll see. [Chorus] F And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan Bb F I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand C F And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout Bb F C F And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand. [Verse 3] F C (Johnny) Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare F It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes C (June) So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away F Until you come then we'll see paradise. [Chorus] F And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan Bb F I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand C F And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout Bb F C F And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand. F And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan Bb F I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand C F And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout Bb F C F Bb F And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand.
