       E           A      
Swing low, sweet chariot
E                      B
Comin' for to carry me home...
      E            A    E
Swing low, sweet chariot

Comin' for to carry me home.

Next verse, same chords.
  E                      A
I looked over Jordan and what did I see...
E                      B 
Comin' for to carry me home...
        E              A        /      E     /
I saw a band of angels, coming after me...
E      /      B     /     E     /
Comin' for to carry me home

This sounds good with bar chords and wah-wah-
