Waiting For You (I Forgive You Before I Go)
Mississippi John Hurt
[G]Will you be faithful to me?
Is [C]your heart good and [G]true?
[C]While you sow sorrow, [G]and in pain,
D *(riff)
Darling, I'm waiting for you.
[G]Because of your cruel ways,
I may [C]never live to [G]know.
In [C]justice to [G]my true love,
I'll fo[D]rgive you before [G]I go.
rep. 1 & 2
instrumental 1 & 2
If we cannot meet again
Till our troubles all are through,
Beyond the river of Jordan,
I'll still be waiting for you.
rep. 2
instrumental 1 & 2
When you seek my grassy mount,
Then our trouble all is through.
My days have been shortened
Whilst I've been waiting for you.
