Can The Circle Be Unbroken?
6 -6 7 8 8 -8 7 8
I was stand-ing by the win-dow
8 -8 7 -8 7 -6 6
On a cold and cloud-y day,
6 -6 7 7 8 9 9 8
When I saw the hearse come roll-ing
8 -8 7 7 7 -8 8 -8 7
for to car-ry my moth-er a-way.
chorus
6 -6 7 8 8 -8 7 8
Can the cir-cle be un-bro-ken,
8 -8 7 7 7 7 -6
By and by, Lord, by and by?
6 -6 7 7 8 9 9 8
There's a bet-ter home a-waiting
8 -8 7 7 -8 -8 7
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
verse 2
Yes, I followed close behind her,
Tried to cheer up and be brave,
But my sorrows I could not hide them,
When they laid her in the grave.
verse 3
Went back home, Lord, cold and lonesome,
Since my mother she was gone,
All my brothers and sisters crying,
What a home, so sad and lone.
