[Chorus]
D                       D7
Will the circle be unbroken
       G                D
By and by, Lord, by and by
D
There's a better home a-waiting
                  A7     D
In the sky, Lord, in the sky


[Verse 1]
D                       D7
I was standing by my window
       G               D
On one dark and cloudy day
D
When I saw that hearse come rolling
                A7      D
For to carry my mother away


[Chorus]
D                       D7
Will the circle be unbroken
       G                D
By and by, Lord, by and by
D
There's a better home a-waiting
                  A7     D
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

[Verse 2]
D                      D7
Well I told the undertaker
     G                  D
Undertaker please drive slow
D
For this body you are carrying
                A7      D
Lord, I hate to see her go


[Chorus]
D                       D7
Will the circle be unbroken
       G                D
By and by, Lord, by and by
D
There's a better home a-waiting
                  A7     D
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

[Verse 3]
D
Well, I followed close behind her
         G              D
Tried to hold up and be brave
D
But I could not hide my sorrow
                   A7     D
When they laid her in the grave


[Out-Chorus]
D                       D7
Will the circle be unbroken
       G                D
By and by, Lord, by and by
D
There's a better home a-waiting
                  A7     D
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
D                       D7
Will the circle be unbroken
       G                D
By and by, Lord, by and by
D
There's a better home a-waiting
                  A7     D
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
