Chords (strumming version):
Waiting For You (I Forgive You Before I Go)
Mississippi John Hurt
G
Will you be faithful to me?
C G
Is your heart good and true?
C G
While you sow sorrow, and in pain,
D *(riff)
Darling, I'm waiting for you.
G
Because of your cruel ways,
C G
I may never live to know.
C G
In justice to my true love,
D G
I'll forgive you before 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.
