[Intro 1]
[Gsus2][Dsus4][G][D][C][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]The
Jordan is waiting for me to cross [D]through
[C]My heart is aging I can[Em] tell[G][D]
[G]So Lord, I'm begging for
one last favor [D]from You
Here's my [C]heart take it
[G]where You will[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]This life has shown me how we're
[Em]mended and how we're torn
[C]How it's okay to [Am]be lonely
as long [D]as you're free
[G]Sometimes my ground was stony
And sometimes [Em]covered
up with thorns
And only [C]You could make it
what it had [Am]to b[D]e
And now that it's [Dsus4]done
[Am]Well if they dressed me
like a [Bm]pauper
Or if they [C]dined me like [Bm]a prince[G]
[Am]If they lay me with my f[Bm]athers
Or if my [C]ashes scatter on the [D]wind
I don't care
[G]But when I leave I want to

[Verse 3]
[Am]
go [G]out like Eli[C]jah[D]
With a [Em]whirlwind to fuel my [D]chari[G]ot [C]of fire
[D]And when I loo[G]k back on the sta[C]rs
It'll be like a [D]candlelight in
[B]Central [Em]Park[Asus4][A]
And [C]it won't break my [Dsus4]heart
to say [D]goodbye

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][Bm][G][C][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]There's people been friendly,
but they'd [Em]never be your friends
[C]Sometimes this has bent me to the[Am] grou[D]nd
[G]Now that this is all ending
I want to hear some [Em]music once again
'Cause it's the [C]finest thing
that I have [Am]ever found[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]But the Jordan is waiting
Though I ain't never [Em]seen the other side
[C]Still they say you can't tak[Am]e
in the things you have [D]here
[G]So on the road to salvation
I stick out my thum[Em]b
and He gives me [D]a ride
And His mu[C]sic is already fall
[Am]ing on my [Dsus4]ears[D]

[Verse 6]
[Am]There's people been talk
[Bm]ing
They say they're [C]worried
about my [G]soul
[Am]Well, I'm here to tell you
I'll keep [Bm]rocking
'Til [C]I'm sure it's my time to [D]roll
And when I do
[G]When I leave I want to

[Verse 7]
[Am]go
[G]out like Eli[C]jah[D]
With a [Em]whirlwind to fuel my [D]chari[G]ot of [C]fire
[D]And when I loo[Bm]k back on the sta[C]rs
It'll be like a [D]candlelight in
[B]Cent[Em]ral [Asus4]Park
[A]And it [C]won't break my hea[Dsus4]rt
to say [D]goodbye

[Verse 8]
[G]'Cause when I leave I want
to [Am]go ou[G]t like Elija[C]h[D]
With a [Em]whirlwind to fuel my
[D]chari[G]ot of [C]fire[D]
And when I [Bm]look back [G]on the [C]stars
It'll be like a [D]candlelight in
[B]Central [Em]Park[Asus4][A]
An[C]d it won't break my [Dsus4]heart to [C]say go[Dsus4]odbye[G]
