G5                      E5
  The Jordan is waiting    for me to cross through
C2(no3)                  Am7(4)       D5   D5
        My heart is agin'       I can tell
G5                                E5
  So Lord I'm asking for one last    favor from You
          C2(no3)     Am7(4)               D5
Here's my  heart  take  it  where You will

G5                                  E5
  This life has shown me how we're mend-ed and how we're torn
C2(no3)                          Am7(4)                 D5    D5
        How it's okay to be lone-  ly  as long as you're   free
G5
Sometimes my ground was stony
             E5
And sometimes covered up with thorns
         C2(no3)               Am7(4)
And only   You   could make it  what  it had to be
D5
     And now that it's done
Am7(4)                          G5
       If they dressed me like a  pau-  per
             C5             G5
Or if they dined me like a prince
Am7(4)                   G5
  If they lay me with my   fa-   thers
         C2(no3)                  D5
Or if my  ash-  es scatter on the wind I don't care

 G5                         A5        G5   C5     D5
But when I leave I want to go out like  E-li-jah
E5                           D5    G5     C5  D5
With a whirlwind to fuel my char-i-ot of fire
           G5                    C5
And when I look back on the stars
                G5              B5           E5  A5  A5
It'll be like a can- dlelight in Cen- tral Park
    C5                    D5              G5
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye
 E5         C5         D5

Verse 2:
There's people been friendly, but they'd never be your friends
Sometimes this has bent me to the ground
Now that this is all ending
I want to hear some music once again
'Cause it's the finest thing that I have ever found

But the Jordan is waiting
Though I ain't never seen the other side
Still they say you can't take in the things you have here
So on the road to salvation
I stick out my thumb and He gives me a ride
And His music is already falling on my ears

There's people been talking
They say they're worried about my soul
Well, I'm here to tell you I'll keep rocking
'Til I'm sure it's my time to roll
And when I do

Repeat Chorus:
But when I leave I want to go out like Elijah
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire
And when I look back on the stars
It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye

Repeat Chorus:
'Cause when I leave I want to go out like Elijah
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire
And when I look back on the stars
It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park
    C5                      D5
And it won't break my heart 
       G5
To say    goodbye
 E5         C5         D5    D5
