Verse 1:
  A2        F#m7         D2        Esus    E

A                      F#m7
  The Jordan is waiting    for me to cross through
D2                        Bm7          Esus   E
        My heart is agin'       I can tell
A                                F#m7
  So Lord I'm asking for one last    favor from You
          D2          Bm7                  Esus
Here's my  heart  take  it  where You will

A                                  F#m7
  This life has shown me how we're mend-ed and how we're torn
D2                               Bm7                    Esus    E
        How it's okay to be lone-  ly  as long as you're   free
A
Sometimes my ground was stony
             F#m7
And sometimes covered up with thorns
         D2                      Bm7  
And only   You   could make it  what  it had to be
Esus
     And now that it's done
Bm7                             Amaj7/C#
       If they dressed me like a  pau-  per
             D             Amaj7/C#
Or if they dined me like a prince
Bm7                        Amaj7/C#
  If they lay me with my   fa-   thers
         D2                        E7sus
Or if my  ash-  es scatter on the wind I don't care

 A                         Bm7        A/C#   D     E
But when I leave I want to go out like  E-li-jah
F#m7                           E/G#    A     D2  E/D
With a whirlwind to fuel my char-i-ot of fire
           A/C#                    D
And when I look back on the stars
                A/E              C#/F           F#m  Bsus  B
It'll be like a can- dlelight in Cen- tral Park
    D                    Esus              A
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye
 F#m7         D2         E


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
    D                      E7sus
And it won't break my heart 
       A2
To say    goodbye
 F#m9         D         Esus    E

  A2        F#m9         D         Esus    E

Repeat and fade:
  A2        F#m7         D2        Esus    E
