Chords

[Verse 1]
      F
I was standing by the window

        Bb              F
On one cold and cloudy day
And I saw the hearse come rolling
                 C7    F
For to carry my mother away
[Chorus]
         F
[tab]       Bb              F
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
                  C7     F
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
[Verse 2]
        F
Lord, I told the undertaker

     Bb                   F
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
                C7      F
Lord, I hate to see her go
[Chorus]
         F
Will the circle be unbroken

       Bb              F
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
                  C7     F
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
[Verse 3]
      F
Oh, I followed close behind her

         Bb             F
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
                   C7     F
When they laid her in the grave
[Chorus]
         F
Will the circle be unbroken

       Bb              F
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
                  C7     F
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
[Verse 4]
       F
I went back home, the home was lonesome

         Bb              F
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
               C7      F
What a home so sad and alone
[Chorus]
         F
Will the circle be unbroken

       Bb              F
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
                  C7     F
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
[Verse 5]
        F
We sang songs of childhood

         Bb                 F
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that mother Maybelle taught us
         C7          F
Hear the angels sing along
[Chorus]
         F
Will the circle be unbroken

       Bb              F
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
                  C7      F
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
