Carter family — Will the Circle be Unbroken

G                     G7  
I was standing by the window 
        C               G  
On one cold and cloudy day 
 
When I saw the hearse come rolling 
        G7       D7     G  
For to carry my mother away 
 
 G                     G7  
Will the circle be unbroken 
        C               G  
By and by, Lord, by and by 
 
There's a better home a-waiting 
                  D7      G  
In the sky, Lord, in the sky 
 
 G                     G7  
Lord, I told the undertaker: 
      C                  G  
Undertaker please drive slow 
 
For this body you are hauling 
        G7      D7     G  
Lord I hate to see her go 
 
 G                     G7  
Will the circle be unbroken 
        C               G  
By and by, Lord, by and by 
 
There's a better home a-waiting 
                  D7      G  
In the sky, Lord, in the sky 
 
 G                  G7          
I followed close behind her 
          C              G  
Tried to holdup and be brave 
         
But I could not hide my sorrow 
           G7      D7       G  
When they laid her in the grave 
 
 G                     G7  
Will the circle be unbroken 
        C               G  
By and by, Lord, by and by 
 
There's a better home a-waiting 
                  D7      G  
In the sky, Lord, in the sky 
 
 G                                 G7   
Went back home, Lord, my home was lonesome 
           C              G  
Missed my mother she was gone 
 
All my brothers, sisters crying 
        G7     D7       G  
What a home so sad and lone  
 
 G                     G7  
Will the circle be unbroken 
        C               G  
By and by, Lord, by and by 
 
There's a better home a-waiting 
                  D7      G  
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
