Johnny Cash – Daddy Sang Bass (Ukulele)

     C
I remember when I was a lad

            F                    C
Times were hard and things were bad

                                           G7
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud

           C
Just poor people that all we were

                  F                       C
Tryin' to make a livin' out of blackland earth

                                   G7             C
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud. ...

                            C7
Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor

                F                       C
Me and little brother would join right in there

                                  G7
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul

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

        F             C
I'll rejoin them in a song

                           G7             C
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne. ...

                          C7
No, the circle won't be broken

         F                 C
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ...

                                  C7
Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing tenor

                F                     C
Me and little brother will join right in there

                  G7       C  C   G7   C
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

         C                            F              C
Now I remember after work mama would call in all of us

                                         G7
You could hear us singin' for a country mile

             C                                  F             C
Now little brother has done gone on but I'll rejoin him in a song

                            G7                  C
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while.
