I was standing by my window
D7 A
On a cold and rainy day
A7
When I saw that hearse come rolling
E A
For to take my mother away
[Chorus]
A A7
Will the circle be unbroken
D7 A A7
By and by, Lord, by and by
A
There's a better home a-waiting
F#m E A A7
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
[Verse 2]
A
I said to that undertaker
D7 A
'Undertaker, please, drive slow'
A7
'For that lady that you are carrying'
E A
'Lord, I hate to see here go'
[Chorus]
A7
Will the circle be unbroken
D7 A A7
By and by, Lord, by and by
A
There's a better home a-waiting
F#m E A
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A A7
Well, I followed close behind her
D7 A
Tried to hold up and be brave
A
But I could not hold my sorrow
E A
When they laid her in her grave
[Chorus]
A A7
Will the circle be unbroken
D7 A
By and by, Lord, by and by
A
There's a better home a-waiting
F#m E A
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
[Chorus]
A A7
Will the circle be unbroken
D7 A
By and by, Lord, by and by
A A7
There's a better home a-waiting
F#m E A
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
