  25 I'll not be a stranger when I get to that city;
  26       C                        G
  27 I'm acquainted with folks over there.
  28             C
  29 There'll be friends there to greet me,
  30             F
  31 There'll be loved ones to meet me
  32        C             G         C
  33 At the gates of that city four square.

  38 Through the years, through the tears,
  39         C
  40 They've gone one by one.
  41             G
  42 But they'll wait at the gate
  43   C
  44 Until my race is run.

  47       C             G          C
  48 I'm acquainted with folks over there.

  54 I'll not be a stranger when I get to that city;
  55 I've a home on the streets paved with gold.
  56 I'll feel right at home there
  57 In that beautiful somewhere
  58 With the loved ones whose memory I hold.

  75 On the streets of that city four square.
