Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Capo 3

D
Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home;
                                              A  D
swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home.
         G                             D
I looked over Jordan, and what did I see,

coming for to carry me home? A band of angels

coming after me, coming for to carry me home.

Words: Afro-American spiritual (2 Kg. 2:11)

    Chorus:
    [F] Swing low, sweet chariot,
    coming for to [Dm7] carry [F/A] me [C] home;
    Swing [F] low, sweet [Bb] cha[Bb/D]ri[F]ot,
    [Dm7] coming for [Db7b5] to [C] carry me [F] home.

    [F] I looked over Jordan, and what did I see,
    coming for to [Dm7] carry [F/A] me [C] home?
    A [F] band of angels [Bb/F] coming after [F] me,
    [Dm7] coming for [Db7b5] to [C] carry me [F] home.

    Repeat chorus:

    [F] If you get there before I do,
    coming for to [Dm7] carry [F/A] me [C] home;
    Tell [F] all my friends I’m [Bb/F] coming [F] too,
    [Dm7] coming for [Db7b5] to [C] carry me [F] home.

    Repeat chorus:

    [F] I’m sometimes up, I’m sometimes down,
    Coming for to [Dm7] carry [F/A] me [C] home;

    [Dm7] coming for [Db7b5] to [C] carry me [F] home.

    [F] The brightest day that I can say,
    Coming for to [Dm7] carry [F/A] me [C] home;
    When [F] Jesus washed my [Bb/F] sins a[F]way,
    [Dm7] coming for [Db7b5] to [C] carry me [F] home.
