The Shores Of Jordan

C I looked up into heaven, F C I thought I'd solve life's myste ries. 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 dance the shores of Jordan 'till the angels carry me. I travelled to a prison, Saw my share of shattered dreams. Were the tables slightly tilted I could be bound they could be free. But I believe no tear goes wasted, And so I fell there on my knees. And vowed I'd dance the shores of Jordan 'till the angels carried me. 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. I saw a weary traveller heading down a dusty road. I said, "Friend may I help you, it seems you haul a heavy load." And he said, "Although my burden's heavy, in my heart I'm travelling light. So I can cross old river Jordan when I'm called to the other side."
