I was standing by my window
C G
On a cold and cloudy day
Em
When I saw that hearse come rolling,
C D G
Lord, to carry my mother away
G G7
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and by
Em
There's a better home awaiting
C D G
In the sky - Lord, in the sky
G G7
And I followed close behind her
C G
Tryin' to hold up and be brave
Em
But, I could not hide my sorrow,
C D G
When they laid her in that grave
G G7
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and ( by
Em
There's a better home awaiting
C D G
In the sky - Lord, in the sky
G G7
I went back home - my home was lonesome
C G
For my mother she was gone
Em
Saw my brothers and sisters crying
C D G G7
What a home so sad and alone
G G7
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and by
Em
There's a better home awaiting
C D G
In the sky - Lord, in the sky
G G7
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and by
Em
There's a better home awaiting
C D G
In the sky - Lord, in the sky
Em
There's a better home awaiting
C D
In the sky - Lord, in the sky
