Over There

        A                   D              A
I got a home so much better waiting for me over there.

I got a friend that I can lean on.
           E
And I feel stronger just knowing that he cares.
        A
I got a fire gonna keep it burning, 
        D               A
I got a light gonna let it shine.
                                     D
Got me a prayer wheel, gonna keep it turning,
       A
And I believe we’ll be together, 
E                             A
Hallelujah, when we reach the other side.


Chorus:
	
         D
There’ll be a day of rejoicing and it will last forever,
      A
Over there (over there), over there (over there).
              D
The choice is yours and you can make it,

If you want to live forever,
      E
Over there (over there), over there (over there).
               A
There’ll be no cryin’, no more dyin’,
    D
All God’s children will be satisfied.
   A
I believe we’ll be together,
E                             A
Hallelujah, when we reach the other side.


He gave you love now, so love your brother,
He gave you a bell, so let it ring.
He gave you a song, better keep on singing,
For you’ll be known by the songs that you sing.
He gave you a fire, keep on burning.
He gave you a light, better let it shine.
He gave you a prayer wheel, just keep on turning,
And I believe we’ll be together,
Hallelujah, when we reach the other side.
