[Verse 1]
  G2        Em7         C2        Dsus    D
[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][  /  /  /  / ]

G                      Em7
  The Jordan is waiting    for me to cross through

Csus2                    Am7          Dsus   D
        My heart is agin'       I can tell

G                                Em7
  So Lord I'm asking for one last    favor from You

          Csus2       Am7                  Dsus
Here's my  heart  take  it  where You will

G                                  Em7
  This life has shown me how we're mend-ed and how we're torn

Csus2                           Am7                    Dsus    D
        How it's okay to be lone-  ly  as long as you're   free

G
Sometimes my ground was stony

             Em7
And sometimes covered up with thorns

         Csus2                 Am7
And only   You   could make it  what  it had to be

Dsus
     And now that it's done
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                             Gmaj7/B
       If they dressed me like a  pau-  per

             C             Gmaj7/B
Or if they dined me like a prince

Am7                      Gmaj7/B
  If they lay me with my   fa-   thers

         Csus2                    D7sus
Or if my  ash-  es scatter on the wind I don't care
[Chorus]
 G                         Am7        G/B   C     D
But when I leave I want to go out like  E-li-jah

Em7                           D/F#    G     C2  D/C
With a whirlwind to fuel my char-i-ot of fire

           G/B                    C
And when I look back on the stars

                G/D              B/D#           Em  Asus  A
It'll be like a can- dlelight in Cen- tral Park

    C                    Dsus              G
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye

 Em7         C2         D

[Verse 2]
G                                     Em7
There's people been friendly, but they'd never be your friends

Csus2              Am7            Dsus   D
 Sometimes this has bent me to the ground

G 
Now that this is all ending

                      Em7
I want to hear some music once again

          Csus2                 Am7               Dsus
'Cause it's the finest thing that I have ever found

G 
But the Jordan is waiting

                     Em7
Though I ain't never seen the other side

        Csus2                 Am7                   Dsus    D
Still they say you can't take in the things you have here

G
So on the road to salvation

                Em7
I stick out my thumb and He gives me a ride

         Csus2                        Am7
And His music is already falling on my ears
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                   Gmaj7/B
There's people been talking

                C             Gmaj7/B
They say they're worried about my soul

        Am7                       Gmaj7/B
Well, I'm here to tell you I'll keep rocking

         Csus2               D7sus
'Til I'm sure it's my time to roll
And when I do [Chorus]
 G                         Am7        G/B   C     D
But when I leave I want to go out like  E-li-jah

Em7                           D/F#    G     C2  D/C
With a whirlwind to fuel my char-i-ot of fire

           G/B                    C
And when I look back on the stars

                G/D              B/D#           Em  Asus  A
It'll be like a can- dlelight in Cen- tral Park

    C                    Dsus              G
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye
[Chorus 2]
 G                            Am7        G/B  C   D
'Cause when I leave I want to go out like Elijah

Em7                           D/F#  G       C2 D/C
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire

           G/B                    C
And when I look back on the stars

                G/D            B/D#        Em Asus A
It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park

    C                      D7sus
And it won't break my heart 

       G2
To say    goodbye
