{Verse 1]
          G
Well, I remember when I was a lad

           C                    G
Times were hard and things were bad

              C                          A7  D
But there's a silver linin' behind ev'ry cloud

          G
Just poor people that 's all we were

                 C                        G
Tryin' to make a livin' out of black-land dirt

                                  D              G
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
[Chorus] N.C. Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
              C                        G          
Me and little brother would join right in there

                                 A7  D
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul

             G 
One of these days and it won't be long

       C              G
I'll rejoin them in a song

                          D             G
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne

           G
Though the circle won't be broken

       C                G
By and by, Lord, by and by
N.C. Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
              C                        G
Me and little brother would join right in there

                 D       G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
[Verse 2]
      G                              C              G
Now I remember after work mama would call in all of us

                                        A7 D
You could hear us singin' for a country mile

           G               
Now little brother has done gone on

           C             G
But I'll rejoin him in a song

                           D                  G
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while
[Chorus] N.C. Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
              C                        G
Me and little brother would join right in there

                                        A7 D
'Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul

             G
One of these days and it won't be long

       C              G
I'll rejoin them in a song

                          D             G
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne

          G
Oh no the circle won't be broken

       C                G
By and by, Lord, by and by
N.C. Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
              C                        G
Me and little brother would join right in there

                 D       G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

       G         D       G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
