   C                                   c7           F             C
I was standing by my window on a cold & cloudy day
             C                          am                       c          G       C
When I saw the hearse come rolling for to carry my mother away


   C                             c7             F               C
Will the circle be unbroken by & by, Lord, by & by?
C                         am             c       G       C
There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky


   C            C7                   F             C
Lord, I told that undertaker 'Undertaker, please drive slow
C                        AM               C        G       C
For this body you're a-hauling, Lord, I hate to see her go'

   C              C7                 F             C
I followed close behind her, tried to hold up & be brave
C                        AM              C        G       C
But I could not hide my sorrow when they laid her in the grave


C            c7                     F               C
Will the circle be unbroken by & by, Lord, by & by?
C                         am             c       G       C
There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken, by & by Lord by & by
There's a better way to live now, we can have it if we try

I was singing with my sisters, I was singing with my friends
And we all can sing together, 'cause the circle never ends

I was born down in the valley where the sun refused to shine
But I'm climbing up to the highland, gonna make that mountain mine!
