2nd Verse:
I know dark clouds will hover o'er me
I know my pathway is rough and steep
What golden fields lie out before me
Where weary eyes no more will weap

Chorus:

3rd Verse:
I'll soon be free from every trial
This form shall rest beneath the sun
I'll drop that cross of self denial
And enter in that home with God

Chorus:



This is a pretty simple song done by a lot of people, 
but I didn't see Jack White's version in Dm so I wrote it out... 
that being said, there is a guy on youtube who calls himself the 
Bard of Cornwall and plays a mandolin version that sounds great on
guitar as well and goes like this...

Same words, and repeat the first verse after the third chorus 
followed by the first chours...and as far as I'm concerend you 
can swith out the G for a Gm in Jack White's version and it 
will still sound sweet..
