Orig.: G#
G G7
I was standing by the window
C G
On one cold and cloudy day
And I saw the hearse come rolling
D7 G
For to carry my mother away
G G7
Oh, can the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a waiting
D7 G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
G G7
Lord I told the undertaker
C G
Undertaker, please, drive slow
For this body you are hauling
D7 G
Lord, I hate to see her go
G G7
Can the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a waiting
D7 G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
G G7
I followed close behind her
C G
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
D7 G
When they laid her in the grave
G G7
Can the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a waiting
D7 G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
G
Went back home, Lord
G7
My home was lonesome
C G
Since my mother she was gone
All my brothers sisters crying
D7 G
What a home so sad and alone
G G7
Can the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a waiting
D7 G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
