[Verse]
                  A7       
I was standing by my window
D               A         
On one cold and cloudy day
     A                             
When I saw that hearse come rolling
    A                      
For to carry my mother away


[Chorus]
A                          
Will the circle be unbroken
D                 A     
By and by Lord by and by
A                             
There's a better home awaiting
           E       A      
In the sky Lord in the sky

[Verse]
A                        
I said to that undertaker
D7                A         
Undertaker please drive slow
    A                         
For this lady you are carrying
            E      A      
Lord I hate to see here go


[Chorus]
A                          
Will the circle be unbroken

By and by Lord by and by
A                             
There's a better home awaiting
           E       A

Oh ■ ■ I followed close behind her


[Verse]
D                    A       
Tried to hold up and be brave
A                             
But I could not hide my sorrow
     A                         
When they laid her in the grave


[Chorus]
                   A7      
Will the circle be unbroken
D                 A     
By and by Lord by and by
A                             
There's a better home awaiting
           E       A      
In the sky Lord in the sky

I went back home my home was lonesome
D                    A7  A   
Missed my mother she was gone
    A                            
All of my brothers sisters crying
            E7     Esus4 A   
What a home so sad and   lone
A

In the sky Lord in the sky
   G                          
We sang the songs of childhood
D                                 
Hymns of faith that made us strong
     A                             
Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us
A                         
Hear the angels sing along
A                          
Will the circle be unbroken
       E              Esus4
By and by Lord by and by
