C - G7 - C - F - C

[Verse 1]

C                             F
I'll not be a stranger when I get to
 that city
    C                          G7
I'm acquainted with folks over there
            C
There'll be friends there to greet 
me
            F
There'll be loved ones to meet me
       C             G7       C  
At the gates of that city 
   F C
foursquare

[Chorus]

            G7                     
Through the years through the tears
         C
 they've gone one by one
            G7                 C
But they'll wait at the gate until 
my race is won
                              F
I'll not be a stranger when I get to
 that city
    C               G7         C 
I'm acquainted with folks over 
   F C
there
