Based on The Last of Us 2's promotion song 'Ellie and Joel's Song', which itself is based on the American folk song 'The Wayfaring Stranger' or 'Poor Wayfaring Stranger' 💎 ⚠️I own nothing⚠️ Am I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger Dm Am Travelin' through this world of war There is no sickness, no toil nor danger Dm E Am In that bright land to which I go F C I'm going there to see my mother F E E7 She said she'd meet me when I come Am I'm just a goin' over Jordan Dm E Am I'm just a goin' over home Am I know dark clouds will gather 'round me Dm Am I know my way is rough and steep But beauteous fields lie just before me Dm E Am Where Gods redeemed, their vigils keep F C I'm going there to see my father F E E7 I'm going there no more to roam Am So I'm just going over Jordan Dm E Am I'm just going over home Am I'll soon be free from earth's triumphs Dm Am This body rests in the old church yard I'll drop this cross of self denial Dm E Am In those singing home to god F C I'm going there to see my savior F E E7 I'm going there no more to roam Am I'm just a goin' over Jordan Dm E Am I'm just a goin' over home Am I'm just a goin' over Jordan Dm E Am I'm just a goin' over home Am I'm just a going... 🐝- This song makes me want to ride on a horse into the wild wild West alone with the weight of my sorrows and sins on my shoulders and the wind blowing sand into my face while I squint into the sun and wonder how long it'll take before my past catches up with me.
