[Intro]

[Verse]
E                         E7 
■ I remember when I was a lad
           A                    E  
Times were hard and things were bad
                                         B    
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud
          E                         
Just poor people that 's all we were
                 A                       E   
Tryin' to make a living out of blackland dirt
                                  B7             E   
But we'd get together in a family circle singing loud
E                              
Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor
                      A                   E      
Me and little brother would join right in ■ there
                                 B   
Singing seems to help a troubled soul
             E                        
One of these days and it won't be long
            A         E   
I'll rejoin them in a song
               E7         B7            E     
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne


[Chorus]
       E                     
No the circle won't be broken
       A              E 
By and by Lord by and by
                          E    
Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor
              E7      E A          E             
Me and little brother ■ would join right in there
           B           E  
In the sky Lord in the sky

[Verse]
B7  E7 E                              A              E 
Now I  remember after work mama would call in all of us
                                        B7  
You could hear us singing for a country mile
           E                       
Now little brother has done gone on
         A               E   
But I'll rejoin him in a song
                           B                  E    
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while
                     E         
Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor
       A                               A7 E    
Me and little brother would join right in there
                               B7       B   
'cause singing seems to help a troubled soul
       E                              
One of these days and it won't be long
A                   E     
I'll rejoin them in a song
                   B7               E         
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
      E                         
Oh no the circle won't be broken
A                       
By and by Lord by and by
                E              
Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor


[Chorus]
                                          A    
Me and little brother would join right in there
E                 B      E  
■ In the sky Lord in the sky
                B7     E  
In the sky Lord in the sky
