C                       F           C
Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder

C                     D           G
Why it should be thus all the day long

C                      F       C
While there are others living about us

C              G7            C
Never molested though in the wrong

[Chorus]

C                   F         C
Farther along we'll know all about it

C                   D          G
Farther along we'll understand why

C                    F           C
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine

C                   G7         C
We'll understand it all by and by

[Verse 2]

C                       F         C
When death has come and taken our loved ones

C                      D          G
It leaves our homes so lonely and drear

C                 F          C
Then do we wonder why others prosper

C                G7         C
Living so wicked year after year

[Chorus]

C                   F         C
Farther along we'll know all about it

C                   D          G
Farther along we'll understand why

C                   F           C
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine

C                   G7         C
We'll understand it all by and by
