I know dark clouds will hover o'er me

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..
